   Deuce, thanks for the reply. I have it working on x86_64 on Linux, but would   
   love to get it working native Arm. I've tried on both MacOS and Linux with   
   same seg fault result. I also looked at upgrading SpyderMonkey to a newer   
   version, but the API has changed significantly and I think would unfortunately   
   require quite a bit of re-wiring.   
      
   I've included a test Dockerfile (Debian 22) that reproduces it and captures   
   the crash with LDD.   
      
   Synchronet ARM64 SpiderMonkey 1.8.5 Debug Report   
   Date: December 26, 2025   
   Platform: Debian Bookworm (aarch64/ARM64)   
   Build: Docker container, debian:bookworm-slim base   
      
   1. LDD Output   
   SpiderMonkey is statically linked into libsbbs.so, so no separate libmozjs*.so   
   appears:

   libcap.so.2 => /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libcap.so.2   
   libsbbs.so => /sbbs/exec/libsbbs.so           ← Contains static mozjs

   libnettle.so.8 => /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libnettle.so.8   
   [... additional system libs ...]   
   Confirmation: No system mozjs packages installed. The static libmozjs185-1.0.a   
   from the Synchronet 3rdp build is linked into libsbbs.so.   
      
   2. Build Configuration (from build.log)

   /linux/aarch64/clone.S:79   
   Analysis: The crash occurs during JavaScript runtime initialization,   
   specifically when js_InitFunctionClass() calls js_GetClassPrototype(). This   
   happens in the "sbbs/events" thread before any user scripts run.   
      
   5. System Information   
   Architecture: aarch64 (ARM64)   
   OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)   
   Kernel: Linux (Docker container)   
   Binary type: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, ARM aarch64   
      
   6. Memory Map (relevant sections)   
   0xffff7e400000 - 0xffff7ea23000  r-xp  /sbbs/exec/libsbbs.so  (6.1MB code)   
   0xffff7ea39000 - 0xffff7ea80000  r--p  /sbbs/exec/libsbbs.so  (data)   
   0xffff7ea80000 - 0xffff7eaa2000  rw-p  /sbbs/exec/libsbbs.so  (writable)   
   The crash address 0x0000ffff7e70a250 is within the executable code section of   
   libsbbs.so.   
      
   7. Questions for Further Investigation   
      
   Are there any ARM64/aarch64-specific patches that should be applied but aren't   
   in the current patch set?   
   Is there a known issue with js_GetClassPrototype() on ARM64 with this version   
   of SpiderMonkey?   
   The build uses --with-system-nspr — could there be an incompatibility   
   between system NSPR (from Debian) and the SpiderMonkey build on ARM64?   
   libffi is also built from source for ctypes support:   
      
      src/aarch64/ffi.o src/aarch64/sysv.o   
   Could there be an issue with the libffi ARM64 calling conventions?
