Bug 525794 – sys-devel/make-4.1 segfaults under unknown circumstances

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Stefan de Konink 2014-10-18 17:29:53 UTC]

I am using installation sys-devel/gcc-4.9.1 with sys-devel/make-4.1 which seems to end up in a segfault at arbitrary invocation. Downgrading to sys-devel/make-4.0-r1 seems to resolve the problem. My main system doesn't seem to be affected (same compiler).

Does this still happen with =sys-devel/make-4.1-r1? If yes could you please report this to upstream?
