GCC 2.95.2 on Redhat 6.2 with latest binutils -- a lot of problems

[Michael Meding]

Hi there!

I have problems using gcc 2.95.2 which I bootstrapped on RH6.2.
System is AMD Duron on VIA KT-133 MSI-6330. LAtest binutils are used,
kernel is 2.4.0-test5.

During compile of XF4.01 some targets are not made and I can't find out
why. I have also problems bootstrapping gcc 2.95.2. Sometimes gcc
bootstrapped fine, another run right after this stopped with sig11.

XF4.01 does not build consistently.

The system has 100 Mhz SDRAMS which are, to reduce error possibilities
at the moment clocked at 66Mhz. The system uses very conservative
settings in the bios. The Duron is a 600Mhz one, which is not
overclocked.

Please see attached the logs I have taken from my system. The string2.h
warnings are extracted from make World >&World.log of the build of
XF4.01 as is the error log via a quick grep.

I have attached configuration files. Maybe I screwed up during the
upgrade from egcs 1.1.2 to gcc 2.95.2 or there is a missing link to
header or library files that I am not aware of that could possibly
explain my problems.

If I compile the kernel though, I do not have problems at all, even If I
run it several times in a row. Consistently I will get a working new
kernel.

Thanks for any tips / hints / pointings of my stupidness or else in
advance :-).

With best regards
