Bug 57221 – 'Internal Compiler Error: Segmentation Fault' during emerge of mtools

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Eduardo Juan 2004-07-15 13:25:17 UTC]

I did 'emerge svgalib tar mtools' then gave me this error:

file.c: In function `_internalFileOpen':
file.c:572: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
file.c: In function `comp':
file.c:528: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault

The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem.
make: *** [file.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

!!! ERROR: sys-fs/mtools-3.9.9 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 18, Exitcode 2
!!! emake failed

This error is happening some many times if i start emerging many ebuilds pakets.

svgalib and tar emerged ok...

Restarting al system make it goes to normal situation. (like Windoze :P )

I updated all: system, gcc, glibc, glib, kernel, headers, etc..but nothing same error...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge mtools
2. -
3. -

Actual Results:

reassigning to bug-wranglers.  this doesn't have anything to do with the GLI project and shouldn't have been assigned here.

[Comment 2 Jon Portnoy (RETIRED) 2004-07-28 11:55:28 UTC]

You have a hardware problem. Please consult bug 20600 and check your CPU & RAM, to start.
