Patch taken from Debian[1], largely broken on HPPA without and several tests give segmentation faults[2]. Needs upstreaming if someone familiar with HPPA wants to give this attention. Note forkfd is essentially maintained in qtbase's repo[3] rather than truly third party. [1] https://bugs.debian.org/1042018 [2] https://bugs.gentoo.org/914371 [3] https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/src/3rdparty/forkfd Description: Change how stack grows on HPPA. On HPPA stack grows upwards. This patch introduces this change for this 3rd party code.
