Additional info:
Is it always reproducible on the same file/function? If not, it is probably hardware problem, if yes, then please mail me exact preprocessor output (add -save-temps to the above and attach here sg.i; though AFAIK we are compiling 2.4.6's sg just fine here with that compiler).
Yes, it seems to be reproductible. I tried 3 or 4 to compile, than every try has failed on sg.o ! That what I set: > How reproducible: > Always when I submit the problem. What kind of hardware problem do you think off ? Bad memory chip ? I think I'll download and run memtest86 to check.
Done again from: - my old kernel tree - a new one, extracted from linux-2.4.6.tar.bz2 from www.kernel.org - a new one, made with 2.4.0 sources, plus all 2.4.1 to 2.4.6 patches (using scripts/patch_kernel <kernel tree path> <patches path> All compile ! Don't understand. I'll run memtest86 to check if it is something with bad memory chip. The main problem is that I don't remember what was running when I tried to compile the kernel, and the compilation failed... Don't remember if the system was heavy loaded or not...
