Re: ICE in optimized build of 20000103



The extra flags are passed as environment settings for CFLAGS and/or
CXXFLAGS, set before the configure step, and are thus used whenever
optimization is allowd (stage1? stage2 etc).  In any event, I've been
using the same settings for years.  The only major change here was a
switch to glibc(2.1.2) several months ago, although frankly, I don't
recall any snapshot difficulties at that time.

    It normally shouldn't matter. There might be some weird bug in

    hardware error somewhere. Did you try to reproduce the problem on a
    different machine?

Yes, I get exactly the same problem on an i686 laptop (brand new).  In
addition, I've occasionally seen some other reports of this bug.
Indeed, at some point, someone (Jeff Law I think) wrote and said that
it was a known bug.

Here are some references to problems with bootstrap builds involving
_muldi3:

There are lots more.  What is puzzling is that you don't get the
problem at all.
