• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 43276
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Raj 2004-03-18 09:33:26 UTC]

I am trying to emerge glibc-2.3.2-r9 on a SPARC64 system. The emerhe fails with the following error.
My CFLAGS is CFLAGS="-mcpu=v8 -mtune=v9 -O2 -pipe"

How much RAM/swap do you have?

[Comment 2 Raj 2004-03-18 10:20:06 UTC]

I have 256MB of RAM and 177MB of swap.

Hrm. That's possibly not enough for glibc to compile if you have other things running on the box.
* Does it always fail in exactly the same place?
* Are you on an SMP system?
* What kernel (uname -a)?
* Any chance you could retry with maybe 512MBytes swap active?

* Does it always fail in exactly the same place?
   -Yes it fails at the same place all the time
* Are you on an SMP system?
   -Yes its an dual 300MHz UltraSparc II
* What kernel (uname -a)?
   - Output: Linux xxxxx.chem.uga.edu 2.4.24-sparc #2 SMP Tue Feb 3 13:30:12 EST 2004 sparc64 sun4u TI UltraSparc II  (BlackBird) GNU/Linux
* Any chance you could retry with maybe 512MBytes swap active?
   - I will try that

I tried it again after increasing the swap to 512MB and it crashed again, but not at the same place. Here is the output for the last try.

Ok, next up, can you reproduce this on an identical setup with known good hardware?

Dupe.
