I have gcc-4.1.1 installed & have been using it without problems for 6 months. I tried to compile gcc-4.1.1-r3 with the 'gcj' flag for the Java compiler (I added the flag in make.conf; I want to use 'pdftk' which requires it). The compile failed with the messages below. Emerge details also below. Bug 163986 is similar, but the crash is at a different point in the compile. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 'emerge gcc' 2. 3. Actual Results: Compile fails Expected Results: Compile succeeds Last lines of compiler output : mv tmp-libgcc.mk libgcc.mk TARGET_CPU_DEFAULT="" \ HEADERS="auto-host.h ansidecl.h" DEFINES="USED_FOR_TARGET " \ /bin/sh /z/tmp/portage/gcc-4.1.1-r3/work/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/mkconfig.sh tconfig.h ./xgcc -B./ -B/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -isystem /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include -L/z/tmp/portage/gcc-4.1.1-r3/work/build/gcc/../ld -O2 -O2 -O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -DIN_GCC -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition -isystem ./include -I. -I. -I/z/tmp/portage/gcc-4.1.1-r3/work/gcc-4.1.1/gcc -I/z/tmp/portage/gcc-4.1.1-r3/work/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/. -I/z/tmp/portage/gcc-4.1.1-r3/work/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/../include -I/z/tmp/portage/gcc-4.1.1-r3/work/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/../libcpp/include -g0 -finhibit-size-directive -fno-inline-functions -fno-exceptions -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss -fno-unit-at-a-time -fno-omit-frame-pointer \ -c /z/tmp/portage/gcc-4.1.1-r3/work/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/crtstuff.c -DCRT_BEGIN \ -o crtbegin.o /z/tmp/portage/gcc-4.1.1-r3/work/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/crtstuff.c: In function '__do_global_dtors_aux': /z/tmp/portage/gcc-4.1.1-r3/work/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/crtstuff.c:301: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.

does it fail in the same place every time ? does the old gcc still build ? does it work with -gcj ?
Sorry for the false alarm. I tried again & it compiled successfully; I've used it to compile 'pdftk', which also compiled ok. It's difficult to remember that this can happen: one assumes that the machine will do exactly the same each time, but there must be some obscure interaction with the system which upsets the apple-cart one time but not another. Thanks as always for the devs' volunteer labors.
