Error compiling GCC 3.2.1

Error compiling GCC 3.2.1

[Max Bane]

Hi all. Having difficulting compiling gcc 3.2.1. I'm currently running gcc 
2.95.3 on an x86 machine. I've downloaded and extracted the source tarball, 
and when i do this:

unset CFLAGS &&
unset CXXFLAGS &&
mkdir ../gcc-build &&
cd ../gcc-build &&
../gcc-3.2.1/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared \
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc,f77,java --enable-threads=posix \
--with-slibdir=/lib --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu &&
make bootstrap

I get this:

[... Snip]

Any idea what's going on here? I'd really like to get gcc 3 working so I can 
compile a bunch of other stuff.
Thanks.

Weird. There are lots of people reporting sucessful builds under
linux.

Here are my ideas:

    (a) http://gcc.gnu.org/install/
        Double check the install instructions, this time more
        throughly.

    (b) Compare your system and configure options to those found at:
        http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.2/buildstat.html

    For both (a) and (b) pay careful attention to the versions of
        software required to build gcc.

    (c) And finally - gcc is *very* sensitive to bad memory - much
        more so than any ram tester you know of.

        Pick a large ball of source you *know* compiles on your
        machine (linux kernel is often a good choice) and build it
        about 10 times. If it fails once, you likely have bad memory,
        and should try replacing it.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem (posted in also on this list,
and sent an error report, but yet no answer).

Getting a segmentation fault in the bootstrapping phase.

Some times ago I had prolems bootstrapping w/ 2.95.
If, after the error, you go back to /home/max/dl/gcc-build and redo
make bootstrap
do you get the same error in the same place ? or does it (strangely) groks on ?
what happens if you repeat the process from scratch ?
I know it sounds silly...

Hi,

I have the same problems, and the error is absolutely reproducible:

I can redo bootstrap, get the error, I repeat the process from scratch,
get the error.

Unfortunately no one knows the answer. Here are some suggestions:

(a) Try getting a pre-built gcc 3.2.1 binary and building with that.

(b) Double check the versions of the tools you use to build
    gcc. 2.95.3 is probably solid, (I built 3.2.1 with 2.95.3 on
    FreeBSD, I know others have on other platforms.) so check your
    binutils versions first. If you have experimental/unofficial
    binutils, try replacing them. (Note: Some linux distros ship with
    experimental/unofficial binutils - so you may have them and not
    know it.)

(c) If you have a linux distro that builds everything with every
    optimization flag (e.g., mandrake, which uses -03 -fomit-frame-pointer
    -fexpensive-optimization -march=pentiumpro -mcpu=pentiumpro, and
    others I can't recall) try building gcc 2.95.3 without these
    optimizations, and use the new 2.95.3 for building 3.2.1 .

(d) Use 'make bootstrap4' instead of make bootstrap. This adds an
    additional stage; normally, the stage1 compiler builds the stage2
    compiler with the flags -g -O2. Using make bootstrap4, the stage1
    compiler builds the stage2 compiler with no optimization flags
    (reducing the chance that it will be miscompiled) and the stage2
    compiler builds the stage3 compiler with -g -O2.

(e) Try 'make BOOT_CFLAGS='-O' bootstrap ' or
    make BOOT_CFLAGS='-O0' bootstrap to build gcc with fewer
    optimizations.

I reinstalled 2.95.3, and in fact I got it working!
