[Bug bootstrap/14914] New: fixincl -v crashes during "make bootstrap" on linux

[joel at school dot net]

When I install GCC 3.3.3 on Linux
the "fixincl" tools seems to crash.

I am doing a typical bootstrap:

  cd  /usr/local/src/gcc-3.3.3-build
  ../gcc-3.3.3/configure
  make bootstrap

And get this error message:

  ./fixincl -v < /dev/null
  'fixincl version 1.1'
  NOTE: server restarted
  CLOSING SHELL SERVER - command failure:
        echo 'fixincl version 1.1'
  make[3]: *** [install-bin] Error 154

Running fixincl by itself gives the same error:

  #/usr/local/src/gcc-3.3.3-build/gcc/fixinc# ./fixincl -v
  'fixincl version 1.1'
  NOTE: server restarted
  CLOSING SHELL SERVER - command failure:
        echo 'fixincl version 1.1'

Setup:

  #uname -a
  Linux main.school.net 2.2.19 #25 SMP Tue Apr 1 07:24:57 PST 2003 i686 unknown


Question:

  Could this be related to the old bug 12648?

Thanks, Joel (joel@school.net)

What coreutils you have because there is a bug in newer coreutlits which makes last -10 not be 
accepted at all.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

What command shows the version of coreutils?

Cheers, Joel

Look at the version of tail which I had meant instead of last.

Can you try installing a version of GNU coreutils? textutils 2.0e is a good 3+ years old now, and it's 
conceivable that it has bugs... Thanks.

Installed current GNU textutils as recommended.
   $  tail --version
   tail (textutils) 2.1

No change in the "fixincl" problem:

   main:/usr/local/src/gcc-3.3.3-build/gcc/fixinc# ./fixincl -v
   'fixincl version 1.1'
   NOTE: server restarted
   CLOSING SHELL SERVER - command failure:
        echo 'fixincl version 1.1'

What is fixincl supposed to be doing,
and what's the next recommendation? Thanks! -Joel

Updated GNU coreutils as recommended:

  $ tail --version
  tail (coreutils) 5.2.1

Tried installing again:

  # rm config.cache
  # ../gcc-3.3.3/configure
  # make bootstrap

Same fixincl error:

  ./fixincl -v < /dev/null
  'fixincl version 1.1'
  NOTE: server restarted
  CLOSING SHELL SERVER - command failure:
        echo 'fixincl version 1.1'

What binutils are you using (find out by doing as --version)?

Checking binutils version...
 
  #binutils --version
  bash: binutils: command not found

Here's what I have for binutils:

  #find / | grep binutils
  /usr/info/binutils.info.gz
  /usr/share/locale/da/LC_MESSAGES/binutils.mo
  /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/binutils.mo

  /usr/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/binutils.mo
  /usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/binutils.mo
  /usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/binutils.mo
  /usr/doc/binutils-2.14
  /usr/doc/binutils-2.14/README.gz
  /mnt/software/system/linux/binutils
  /mnt/software/system/linux/binutils/binutils-static-2.14-1.i386.rpm

Just in case binutils was missing: 

  #cd /mnt/software/system/linux/binutils
  #rpm -i binutils-static-2.14-1.i386.rpm
  package binutils-static-2.14-1 is already installed

People bootstrap on i686-pc-linux-gnu all the time, this must be a bug somewhere else.

Huh? It seems clear it's a bug in fixincl:

 ./fixincl -v < /dev/null
  'fixincl version 1.1'
  NOTE: server restarted
  CLOSING SHELL SERVER - command failure:
        echo 'fixincl version 1.1

So far in this bug report there hasn't been any
diagnosis of this error nor of the fixincl tool.

I.e. do you know what is fixincl attempting to do?
And what specificially causes fixincl to restart?

What's the next step to diagnosing it?

Thanks, Joel

Still it works for me and many other people, something must be wrong with your machine.
