[Bug 1871451] Re: powerpc segfault on exponential of negative in python

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

Oh I just read "Docker on Mac" plus the qemulation layer I assume
through qemu-static, but it even isn't "our" qemu of Ubuntu then :-/

Not sure what to suggest, but just generally doe this trigger with all
qemu's?

  powerpc segfault on exponential of negative in python

Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  When calculating the exponential of a negative number in python 3.6
  with the Ubuntu 18.04 Docker image (ppcle64), I receive a segfault.

  ```
  python3 -c "import math; math.exp(-1)"
  qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped
  Segmentation fault
  ```

  I am running this in Docker on macOS. Here are the steps to reproduce
  the error.

  ```
  docker run --rm -it --platform linux/ppc64le ubuntu:18.04
  apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y -qq python3
  python3 -c "import math; print(math.exp(0))"  # 1.0
  python3 -c "import math; print(math.exp(-0))"  # 1.0
  python3 -c "import math; print(math.exp(1))"  # 2.718281828459045
  python3 -c "import math; print(math.exp(-1))"
  ```

  This error does not happen when using the debian:10 or alpine images.

  Here is the output of docker version on my machine:
