RE: [TCLUG:480] kernel compile problem o

[Brad DeJong <1796@mn3.lawson.lawson.com>]

As for solutions, I don't have the foggiest; you might need to reinstall   
gcc, or the source file may be bad.  What I can do is describe the   
problem in general terms and answer your question about cc1.

signal 11 is SYSSEGV which is usually a pointer problem.  Something in   
gcc is trying to access memory outside of the valid area for that   
program.

cc1 is one of the sub-programs used by gcc.  gcc is actually a sort-of   
shell that calls various sub-programs to actually do the work.  For   
example, it calls cpp (the C pre-processor) to handle all the #include   
and #define statements.  cc1 takes the output from cpp and compiles it to   
a machine independent form (P-code).  There is another program that does   
some machine independent optimizations on this P-code.  Then there is a   
program that converts the P-code into machine code for the target   
processor (this is where the machine description comes into play).  This   
last may also do the machine specific optimization or that may be handled   
by a seperate stage.  I can't remember off the top of my head.

Subject:  [TCLUG:480] kernel compile problem on RH 5.0

   

Hello, I'm having trouble compiling the kernel on my fresh, stock RH 5.0
machine. (Version 5.0 comes with kernel 2.0.32.)  When I type 'make boot'
it chokes upon compiling the file ./drivers/block/md.c ...It says:

	cpp: output pipe has been closed
	gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11
	make[3]: *** [md.o] Error 1

...and then 4-7 more lines of errors.

What's going on and what is cc1?

I'd bet I wouldn't be having this problem if I weren't using version 5.0.   

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Carlos
