Comment 91 for bug 1711337

Awesome, thanks for confirming Arch still works and posting the screenshot.

> Also anyone tried to run the binary from bionic, which should be built with gcc-7 as well?

Yes, Lars and I both tried this. It's rather buried in discussion above but search for the part where I mention "ignore the dependency" in order to test the gcc 7 Bionic build on a Xenial system.

> --enable-rust-simd caught eye, what is this all about?

There are Rust bindings for Skia, but the part where it crashes doesn't use Rust. From your screenshot I think these are likely the key missing flags: -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=vfpv3-d16

In the conversation above, those are exactly the flags we suspected from comparing the Chromium build. Looks like we don't actually need clang, and we don't need -mthumb

Well, there's still the other startup crash specific to Ubuntu 16.04 packages. Given we don't hit it on the Bionic nor Trusty builds, that problem is likely specific to gcc 5.4

Now we just need someone with access to change the default build settings on Launchpad.
