: I do not know if I am encountering a Linux specific problem or a : bug with GCC. This is my setup: This is usually not a bug but a hardware problem.
: 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?
Get your Hardware fixes. I guess you have a bad RAM Modules or your BIOS configuration is not ok. Run some hardware tests to figure out what the problem is with your machine.
