From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.19-pre8-ac1 i686) Description of problem: gcc segfaults under ef (Electric Fence) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gcc-2.96-98 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.ef gcc Actual Results: cc: Segmentation fault Expected Results: cc: no input files Additional info: gcc3 and kgcc both survives.
gcc-2.96-RH uses intl/ included in it and localealias.c there is quite old, particularly lacks the: * intl/localealias.c (read_alias_file): Update string pointers in map[] if realloc() changed the values. change which was made in late 2000 in glibc. Use LC_ALL=C ef gcc, that will work. If I build an gcc-2.96-RH rpm, I'll put this in, but I don't consider this a showstopper which would need an errata just for this.
