BUG in egcs 1.1.2 under glibc 2.1.1

[Andreas Hartmann <andihartmann at 01019freenet dot de>]

Hallo!

I probably found a bug in compiling
egcs 2.91.66 19990314 on a i586-pc-linux-gnu.

The options I used to compile:
configure --enable-shared --enable-threads --prefix=/usr
make

The following describes the situation the bug occured:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/temp/egcs-1.1.2-cpp/compile/gcc'
rm -f SYSCALLS.c tmp-SYSCALLS.s
cat ../../gcc/sys-types.h ../../gcc/sys-protos.h > SYSCALLS.c
/temp/egcs-1.1.2-cpp/compile/gcc/xgcc
-B/temp/egcs-1.1.2-cpp/compile/gcc/  -DIN_GCC    -g -O2 -I./include
-I. -I../../gcc -I../../gcc/config \
  -aux-info SYSCALLS.c.X -S -o tmp-SYSCALLS.s SYSCALLS.c
xgcc: Internal compiler error: program cpp got fatal signal 11
make[1]: *** [SYSCALLS.c.X] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/temp/egcs-1.1.2-cpp/compile/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2


I read, that signal 11 could be a result of buggy hardware. But I donīt
think so, because there is absolutely no trouble compiling with running
glibc
2.0.7. Always I compile egcs itself, running glibc 2.1.1, I got the
mentioned errormessage (at the very same position). Interesting too:
compiling egcs-1.1.1 produces at the same position with glibc2.1.1 the
same error. Strange, isnīt it?!


I would be glad, if you could tell me a workaround or a solution,
because I wonīt miss glibc 2.1.1, because itīs a very fast glibc!

Thanks for your work and kind regards,
A. Hartmann
