ld segmentation fault

[Brian Chamberlain]

I have binutils-2.10-rc3 installed on an x86 machine 
with Mandrake Linux 7.0.
The easiest way to get ld to segfault is to try and build 
binutils-2.10-rc3 again after it's been installed.
I get the following error when running configure:

collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [segmentation fault]
The command 'gcc -o conftest -O2 -mcpu=k6 -fstrict-aliasing 
conftest.c' failed.

I'm using the following command to configure binutils:
CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=k6 -fstrict-aliasing" ./configure 
--prefix=/usr --host=i586-pc-linux-gnu --enable-shared

I have glibc-2.1.3 and gcc-2.95.2 installed.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I would guess that this is a problem with gcc and -mcpu=k6, or you have
exposed a bug in binutils due to using -fstrict-aliasing.  Would you
please try recompiling without one or both of these flags and tell us the
results.

I've just finished recompiling binutils-2.10 (using as-new and ld-new from
a previous compile) without any problems.  This was with
--host=i586-linux --prefix=/usr --target=i586-linux --disable-nls
--enable-targets=i586-linuxaout,i586-coff,i586-mingw32,m68k-coff, no
messing with CFLAGS, and gcc version 2.96 20000123.

Thanks, the problem turned out to be the -mcpu=k6 switch.
