From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3 i586) Giving the processor type as k6 compiles the kernel with a -march=k6 flag which seems to cause the problem. Switching processor type to pentium tsc allows the kernel to compile cleanly.. This problem didn't show up when I was using gcc-2.96-69 but is present in gcc-2.96-81. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make menuconfig and choose k6 as processor 2. try to compile kernel 3. Actual Results: gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.3/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=k6 -c -o setup.o setup.c setup.c: In function `check_cx686_slop': setup.c:1143: Internal error: Segmentation fault. Please submit a full bug report.

Is it reproduceable? If yes, can you run gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.3/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=k6 -c -o setup.o setup.c -save-temps -v and attach here setup.i it creates?
No, apparently my memory or cpu is flaky because I'm getting seg faults in random places during compilation. Sorry about the spurious bug report.
