RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2014-04-25 08:29:58 UTC 
This is not necessarily a GCC bug, the above message means that the kernel OOM killer has killed the compiler.  So, either you are trying to compile something large and just don't have enough memory, then it would not be a gcc bug, or the compiler needs unreasonable amount of memory for the complexity of the input, then we could look at what can be done about it.
In any case, there is nothing that can be done about it without a preprocessed testcase.  If that is proprietary, you could try to reduce it yourself and obfuscate, see e.g. http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/A_guide_to_testcase_reduction , one can use e.g. delta or creduce as long as you write a testing script that will say use ulimit -v <somelimit>.

Hi Jakub,

Thanks for getting back to me so promptly. I also hope that it is nothing related to gcc compiler. 

I will try the method suggested by you. And as I am using amazon web service t1.micro instance type, which has only 615MB RAM available. Maybe I can try to upgrade it to have more memory first.

Kind regards,
Xiong Zou
