[erlang-questions] Cannot build a work vm on FreeBSD with dtrace AND enable dirty-schedulers

[Kenji Rikitake]

The dirty scheduler on FreeBSD 10-STABLE on a *non-VM native* machine
(Core i5, 16GB RAM) works alright here with both gcc47 and *clang*. I'm
using kerl.  I suspect it's a VirtualBox-on-Ubuntu problem.

uname -a:

FreeBSD minimax.priv.k2r.org 10.0-STABLE FreeBSD 10.0-STABLE #33 r264285: Wed Apr  9 09:25:02 JST 2014     root@REDACTED:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/K2RKERNEL  amd64

.kerlrc setting:

# since .kerl is a dot file for /bin/sh, exporting inside the environment will define the env variables
# NOTE WELL: these export command will affect *your login environment* when activating curl!
# for clang with concurrent make
export CC=clang CXX=clang CFLAGS="-g -O3 -fstack-protector" LDFLAGS="-fstack-protector" MAKEFLAGS="-j"
# for gcc47
#export CC=gcc47 CXX=gcc47 CFLAGS="-g -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -fstack-protector" LDFLAGS="-fstack-protector" MAKEFLAGS="-j"
#
KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--disable-native-libs --enable-vm-probes --with-dynamic-trace=dtrace --with-ssl=/usr/local --with-javac --enable-hipe --enable-kernel-poll --with-wx-config=/usr/local/bin/wxgtk2u-2.8-config --without-odbc --enable-threads --enable-sctp --enable-smp-support -enable-dirty-schedulers --disable-silent-rules"

erl shell output:

Erlang/OTP 17 [erts-6.0] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false] [dtrace]
