Description Sean Burke 2002-11-12 12:49:10 UTC
XMMS and Mozilla started segfaulting not longer after I installed Gentoo. I 
used the 1.2 install disc, and it was built with gcc2.95. The make.conf had 
CFLAGS as "-march=i686 -O3 -pipe". Unmerging and remerging gtk+1.2 caused the 
programs to function again, until I restarted X. Since then, unmerging and 
remerging gtk+1.2 hasn't worked, nor has the same for Mozilla or XMMS. I tried 
using the update scripts, hoping that using gcc3.2 would solve the problem. 
CFLAGS were "-march=athlon-tbird -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer". I've changing 
the flags from O3 to O2, and removing the frame pointer omit. Nothing seems to 
work. The URL provided is an strace from running XMMS. I set the -ff option, 
but no strace children were created. An strace on mozilla shows that the munmap 
immediately before the segfault occurs there as well.

Try a fresh install without '-fomit-frame-pointer'.  If still issues, reopen.
