Is it reproduceable? If yes (always the same segfault on the same file same line if given the same arguments), then please attach here cpqarray.i (add -save-temps option to gcc), otherwise it is most probably a hardware problem.
Hi, I am experiencing this same problem when compiling my kernel in RedHat 7.2. I also had the problem in RH7.1 even after implementing the patched rpms. It happens on different files at different times. I get the same "Internal error: Segmentation fault." error. Typing 'make' again will usually allow me to successfully compile the current file, but it will hang on a later file. This behavior isn't restricted to compiling the kernel; I have troubles compiling any big project. My compilers always worked fine in the past. My machine is a K6 II 400MHz processor w/ 256MB ram. I only have 133MB of swap, (was going to change that after recompiling the kernel), which COULD be a problem, but this same problem happens when I'm not memory stressed (i.e. not running X, just at the command line). I'd be happy to tell more if necessary. My e-mail address is: jdsalmonson Thanks, Jay
Classic bad RAM chips Anyone finding this old bug with similar things If the bug moves each recompile - > memtest86 your box.
