Bug 5853

Hi,

I am having a strange problem with EGCS (upgraded to
egcs-1.1.2-13) on RedHat 6.0/SPARC.  I first encountered it
when attempting to build Kerberos (krb5-1.0.6).  Excerpts
from the build log:

This version of Kerberos builds just fine using EGCS 1.1.2
under Solaris.

I then tried building the EGCS 1.1.2 distribution on RH 6.0
and hit a similar-looking problem (again excerpted from the
build log):

gcc  -DIN_GCC    -g -O2  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DHAIFA  -o
gencodes \
 gencodes.o rtl.o bitmap.o print-rtl.o ` case "obstack.o" in
?*) echo obstack.o ;; esac ` ` case "" in ?*) echo  ;; esac
` ` case "" in ?*) echo  ;; esac ` ` case "" in ?*) echo  ;;
esac ` ` case "" in ?*) echo  ;; esac `
collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]

This crash doesn't happen if I first apply the patches in
egcs-1.1.2-13.src.rpm.  I'm not sure what to make of this --
my suspicion is that the bug is simply being masked by the
patches.  I mean, `ld' shouldn't take a SEGV on *any* `gcc'
output, should it?

Anyway, for Kerberos sources look at
ftp://athena-dist.mit.edu/pub/kerberos/README.KRB5-1.0.6
