Hiya
I do not know if I am encountering a Linux specific problem or a bug with GCC. This is my setup:
Linux 1.3.58 and 1.3.79 (same problem on both) on an i586. Using gcc 2.7.2 and 2.7.2p.
For a long time I have gotten what seems like random errors when compiling, for example when compiling the Linux kernel, I get:
gcc [snip...] cpp: output pipe has been closed gcc: Internal compiler error: Program cc got fatal signal 11
(note, 11 is SEGV somtimes its signal 6)
sometimes the "cpp: output pipe has been closed" does not appear.
(an invalid .o file is left as a result causing ld to fail its linking).
The error seems to happen in particular on certain .c files. For example the drivers/block/floppy.c does this over and over, but perhaps one out of 10 compilations succeed. Sometimes logging out & back in solves the problem.
What should I do?
