Description Edward Simmonds 2003-10-20 17:34:22 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031009

Description of problem:
Latest kernel (2.4.22-1.2097) does not compile. In fact, I have been unable to
compile ANY kernel in Fedora, including a vanilla 2.4.22 from kernel.org or any
of the kernel-sources provided by RedHat.  I am using the i686 config right out
of the configs directory in each case.  
I am using gcc32.

Two examples follow.  These both use the default i686 config.


latest kernel (2097) (i686 config from configs directory):

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
export CC="gcc32" (I've also edited the Makefile)
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4 (any kernel)
make mrproper
cp configs/[pick one] .config
make oldconfig
make dep
make bzImage (this usually fails)
make modules (this always fails)

Actual Results:  see description

Expected Results:  clean compiles

Additional info:

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2003-10-21 12:45:17 UTC

Looks like a gcc bug. (Or possibly hardware problem, run memtest86 to be on the
safe side).

Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2003-10-21 12:48:56 UTC

This doesn't look like gcc bug. It is make which segfaults in the first case
and as which segfaults in the latter case.
If you can reproduce something always on the same file same segfault/error,
we can investigate. But it looks much more like your hardware is toast.
