According to gdb disassembly it is "mov.i ar.pfs=r36". Its inside
function "runtime.mcall" in libgo.so

I will try to verify if that is true with some disassembler tomorrow,
but I am not yet sure how to do that. Do you? Anyways, I will read about
that.

I have attached the disassembly gdb produces at the SIGILL. The
instruction set on that machine is itanium2 (mckinley) and it gets
detected correctly, at least as long as I can tell. I will also try to
force itanium1 tomorrow and also try with an older version of gcc.

I will have a look at it, at least try, though not sure if I am capable :(
Thanks for your quick response!
