I had a Pine A64+ laying around that I was trying to install Synchronet on.  Using DietPi the process could be followed exectly, but I'm getting a segfault when I try to start it up.

GDB backtrace is showing:
(Can't figure out to paste into Putty, dang it...)

Thread 1 (Thread 0x#### (LWP 55229)):
#0 0x#### in js_GetClassPrototype(JSContext*, JSObject*< JSProtoKey, JSObject**, js::Class*) () from /lib/libmozjs185.so.1.0
#1 0x#### in ?? () from /lib/libmozjs185.so.1.0
#2 0x#### in ?? ()

The Pine A64+ is an arm-based processor with this uname -a output:
Linux bbspine 6.1.63-current-sunxi64 #1 SMP Mon Nov 20 10:52:19 UTC 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Not sure what my next step as I'm a little light on debugging crashes with GDB these days.

Does anybody have an idea what I might have missed or is my combination just too unsupported of an OS / Hardware config at the moment?

Thanks,
Ben
