Bug 399143 – www-client/chromium-17..0.963.33 - chrome/browser/sync/syncable/syncable.cc:555:1: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Robert 2012-01-17 08:15:58 UTC]

I have tried all of the different profiles for the different version of gcc i have install and haven't have much luck. I have tried compiling with 4.5.3 (hardened / PaX only) and then with 4.5.3-nopie, 4.5.3-bopiessp 4.5.3-nossp 4.5.3-vanilla. I did the same for 4.6.* and since chromium nor FF will compile with 4.4.* I really dont know what else to.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -av =www-client/chromium-17.0.963.33

2.  wait

3.  SegFault (at random places it seems)
Actual Results:  
Chromium fails to compile on any profile options I have, not just generally gcc-4.5.3-hardened 

Expected Results:  
Chromium should have compiled, It worked up till 16.0.912.63, that compiled fine.

Portage 2.2.0_alpha84 (hardened/linux/amd64, gcc-4.5.3, glibc-2.14.1-r2, 3.1.5-hardened x86_64)

Full build log, not compressed

helps me please!?

[Comment 2 Robert 2012-01-17 08:17:33 UTC]

Created attachment 299129 [details]
the use flags i have enabled for chromium at build time (not many)

[Comment 3 Robert 2012-01-17 08:21:13 UTC]

I should probably add that I thought that the program kept crashing at the same place as long as the gcc profile was the same only that it failed in different places when using different gcc profiles. However after knocking it back to -j1 with normal 4.5.3 (hardened w/ PaX only) it gave a different than with -j2, so I reran the compile again at -j1 and it stopped at yet ANOTHER file!!!

To me this would mean physical hardware problems but I did a full test with memtest (the only modules I have changed in this comp within the last week, havent changed anything else for over a year) and it can out 100% no errors.......

Anyway, thought that extra bit might be enough.

[Comment 4 Tolga Dalman 2012-01-18 08:45:40 UTC]

Indeed, this seems rather strange. Have you looked at your system logs after the crash (or dmesg) ? I'm asking, because I had some crashs with my T61 a few months ago while compiling stuff. The cause was, that I had no power management activated. After cleaning my fans and enabling the PM all problems are gone.

I have no experience with hardened/PaX stuff, but I suspect the error would be more deterministic in any case.

Hope that helps.

[Comment 5 Joe Kappus 2012-05-29 01:44:21 UTC]

This screams overheating issue.  My T60 was prone to compiler segfaults like this before I switched out the TIM to arctic silver 5 and replaced the cooling system. I suggest watching /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal as it compiles and see if it gets above 90C.

Or try compiling this with the laptop in your refrigerator or freezer and see how it results.

Otherwise, I'd suggest closing this bug as unable to reproduce.

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2012-05-31 00:39:13 UTC]

you can use cpufreq-set from sys-power/cpufrequtils to force your CPU to a lower frequency that will presumably not overheat, and then see if building with -j1 works better
