Re: Comment #1 and comment #2: I obtain exactly the same errors as Alexander. Therefore, please keep this bug open.
Re: My comment #3: It appears to me that the definition of the bfd.h structure has been changed in the binutils bfd. The member "_raw_size" has been renamed "rawsize" or "size". It is hard for me to figure out which version of binutils this change occurred in. There is a separate copy of binutils included with gcl. I wonder if this version of binutils should be used instead of the system version or if the problem is upstream. The following bug has been reported upstream in gcl: "bug #10522 overview: BFD and possibly other build / run incompatibilities for Fedora Core 3 Test 2 LINUX" http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=10522 -- Extract from that bug follows: -- Problem 1 -- <bfd.h> incoppatible with o/sfaslbfd.c Problem 2 -- Attempting a trivial estimated fix for #1 yielded an apparently non-functional GCL ... Inspecting /usr/include/bfd.h seemed to indicate that perhaps replacing _raw_size in source file o/sfaslbfd.c with the member name 'rawsize' might be correct for this <bfd.h> header file. That replacement of '_raw_size' with 'rawsize' was done, and GCL 'make' proceeded without immediately apparent errors, however upon running Maxima (maxima-5.9.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net/ ) which used the built GCL, immediate GCL LISP execution errors were encountered which were not observed when running this version of GCL (2.6.5) with the same version of Maxima (5.9.1) under a Suse 9.0 / i386 LINUX system, so this is circumstantial evidence that there are other problems with the GCL compile resulting from the attempted fix or other errors..
I don't know if this is relevant, but I have Maxima 5.9.1 running on my <shudder>Windows</shudder> system and it was built with GCL. I forget which version of GCL, however.
This bug describes two problems. Firstly there is the original reporter's segfault and secondly there is a system BFD library source incompatibility. The following errata contains a fix for the BFD incompatibility. This will be incoroporated into portage soon. http://www.gnu.org/software/gcl/ERRATA-2.6.5.html M. Edward Borasky, if 2.6.4 works for you now, it might be due to the more precise selection of linking options introduced into the GCL Gentoo port.
Both GCL 2.6.4 and 2.6.5 work for me now straight out of Portage, so on my end, you can close this.
Thanks.
