[Bug c/25200] New: ICE compiling GNU tar

["andreas at florath dot net" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Hello!

When compiling GNU tar 1.15.1, it stopps with:

argp-help.c: In function 'make_hol':
argp-help.c:430: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of
data type
argp-help.c: In function 'hol_append':
argp-help.c:831: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of
data type
argp-help.c:1684:4: argp-help.c: In function '__argp_short_program_name':
argp-help.c:1675: internal compiler error: Segmentation Fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.
make[4]: *** [argp-help.o] Error 1


uname -a: 
SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-26 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-15000

gcc -v: 
Using built-in specs.
Target: sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8
Configured with: /appl/local/be8/tmp/gcc-4.1-20051125/configure
--prefix=/appl/local/be8/pkg/pre2 --enable-shared --enable-threads
--enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-libgcj --with-gnu-as
--with-as=/appl/local/be8/pkg/pre2/bin/sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8-as --with-gnu-ld
--with-ld=/appl/local/be8/pkg/pre2/bin/sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8-ld
--disable-multilib sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.0 20051125 (prerelease)

To reproduce: 
1) get GNU tar 1.15.1
2) untar the tarball :-)
3) cd tar-1.15.1
4) ./configure --host=sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8 --target=sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8
5) make

Other systems also fail:
sparcv9-sun-solaris2.8: gcc 4.0.2

Other systems known to work:
sparc-sun-solaris2.8: gcc 4.0.2

The gcc 4.0.2 versions uses binutils-2.16.1.
The gcc 4.1.0 20051125 version uses binutils-051130.

If you need other information, just drop me a mail.

Happy debugging 

Andre
