Created attachment 333730 [details] preprocessed source gcc-4.4.0-0.21.1.i586 WebKit-gtk also seems to be affected by the rawhide upgrade to gcc-4.4. Following the advice of bug 487795 I tried to recompile it with -fno-tree-sra but got the following ICE. Unable to coalesce ssa_names 534 and 155 which are marked as MUST COALESCE. D.219586_534(ab) and D.219586_155(ab) WebCore/page/AccessibilityRenderObject.cpp: In member function 'virtual void WebCore::AccessibilityRenderObject::addChildren()': WebCore/page/AccessibilityRenderObject.cpp:2303: internal compiler error: SSA corruption Attaching the preprocessed source.
I'll look at it. That said, the advice in #487795 was for that bug, isn't something that should be blindly used for other packages. Instead you should first look at possible aliasing warnings, fix them, try building with -O0 to see if it helps, if yes, try also -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing, do a binary search between flags that work and flags that don't to find problematic compilation unit, etc.
I would have, but I am quite ignorant on the whole aliasing issue. And there are many aliasing warnings building WebKit/JavaScriptCore. Sorry.
Tracking this upstream.
