Internal Compiler Error (ICE) building gcc 8.3.0 on ppc64 Linux

[Brian Groose]

I am trying to build gcc 8.3.0 on linux ppc64.  I have successfully
built 5.3.0 without issue on this machine.  When I build 8.3.0,
however, I hit this error:

I've tried this using the system's binutils and also binutils 2.32
with the same results (binutils 2.32 built OK).

I was previously hitting oomkiller because this host only has 500MB of
RAM.  It's been increased to 1500MB and I no longer see oomkiller in
syslog, so I don't think that's the issue any longer.

Any ideas here, or should I file a bug?

Do you have a decent amount of swap installed, too?

Does the error always happen at the same spot?  Also if you use some
different make -jN option?

Please file a PR.

I changed things to have 4GB of RAM and 4GB of swap and I still see
the same issue.

The error always happens, even without any -j or -j1.  I also tested
other versions and 6.5.0 worked while 7.1.0 and 7.4.0 fail with the
same error.

I will do that, thanks.

This seems familiar and I think it had to do with a broken installed
header file.  Since GCC 6 and GCC 7 built successfully, can you use
one of those compilers to build GCC 8?  If so, that would lead me
to think the system compiler has issues.

Yes, I saw similar PRs around Solaris long ago and some Sun patch
breaking things because it updated libm or something.

gcc 6.5.0 builds successfully, and when I used that to build 8.3.0, it worked!

Thank you for the suggestion!  It seems like an issue with my freshly
installed host, so I will leave it at that.  I appreciate the quick
responses, Peter and Segher!
