I uploaded 5.1.0-2 to unstable moments ago, which includes the aforementioned commit. Unfortunately, it seems like the build fails due to atomics-related complications, which judging from similar bug reports, could be fixed by passing -pthread instead of -lpthread. I filed this upstream[1] and that seemed like a good idea to them. 1: https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/1401 I then experimented with building with that option on a riscv64 qemu-user-static container locally, but I came across random issues when running the test suite, like some allocation issues, or processes hanging etc. The build with the same option on amd64 seems to have worked fine. I wonder if this has something to do with jemalloc or my (weirdly emulated) environment, bug regardless... I would love your help, if you have a spare moment :) Regards, Faidon
