Comment 1 James Haydon 2002-10-02 05:19:24 UTC

It seems to a memory leak, because I tryed it 4 more time and gcc failed. I
reboot ed the machine and gcc compiled the kernel with no problem.

Comment 2 David S. de Lis 2002-10-13 02:17:33 UTC

I got the same error when compiling xine-lib-0.9.13... Before the segmentation
fault I get these funny error messages (also happened compiling kinkatta, which
is an instant messaging client for KDE):

gcc: /usr/var/tmp/tom-1.1.1/C/.libs/libC.so: No such file or directory
gcc: /usr/var/tmp/tom-1.1.1/tom/.libs/libtom.so: No such file or directory
gcc: /usr/var/tmp/tom-1.1.1/trt/.libs/libtrt.so: No such file or directory

I launched another gnome-console to reproduce the error, while I kept the screen
in the first one, but this time it compiled OK, so it indeed looks like some
pointers may be dancing a fandango on core in some part og gcc... (This happened
with gcc 3.2 as shipped in RedHat 8.0)

Comment 3 Alan Cox 2002-12-15 23:12:46 UTC

Thats a classic report that looks like bad memory. It may also be stack bugs in
the older xfs patches. Reopen if you can recreate it with a RH shipped kernel
and if your PC passes memtest86
