What about filling an issue or sharing a reproducer oneline? this sounds like a 1 line fix. And probably related to capstone, not directly r2. There are other disassembler and analysis plugins for powerpc in r2land…

Also, just how out-of-date a version of capstone it ends up using is often very distro-dependent from what I can tell.

Which is fine, but as I said, first impressions. If I'm going to try $software my first instinct is going to be 'emerge $software', try it, and if it fails spectacularly at the first single task I give it, I probably won't go "well maybe git is fixed, let me spend time on that".

Blame Gentoo all you want, doesn't fix the first impression though :-)

I'm not blaming the dev for this issue (though they *may* be to blame; I haven't analyzed r2's packaging to determine if they're distro-packaging-friendly with all that fork story). I'm saying I've had a crappy first experience every time I try radare. Fault is irrelevant.
