Does this require a mass rebuild? I just wonder if there are packages
which check for the page size at configure time and embed it in the
code.

I'm going to get ahead here and say probably a mass rebuild *won't* be
required. I've been running a custom 4K page kernel on the Pine64
with a regular Fedora/aarch64 userspace -- and apart from qemu --
everything is working fine.

(I don't think the qemu problems have anything to do with page size.)

Rich.

No, it shouldn't require anything, we've had a number of mass rebuilds
since that issue was fixed in binutils. It's a bug if a package is
affected, but I'm aware of numerous people that have been running
devices with 4K kernels with the aarch64 userspace with out issue

They shouldn't.
