GCC segfaults, signal 11, EVERY time it is run, immediately. Regardless of sources used, regardless of machine load, free memory, etc. I read the Sig 11 FAQ and tried all the following: Tried three sets of SIMMs Disabled CPU cache Disabled L2 cache Set all RAM timings to the slowest available Disabled/slowed all performance options None of it helped at all. I followed the suggestions in the FAQ to determine if it is a hardware or software problem, and the results indicated software. GCC always crashes at the same time, on the very first file, EVERY time. 100% reliably crashes. Trying different source files doesn't help. The files are completely readable, start to end, so I feel that rules out some sort of storage media problem. Everything else works fine. Installing a copy of Linux (RH 5.0, it came with the machine), it has no problems at all, GCC works great. So my deduction is that there is a software bug related to my particular hardware combination, which is: Tyan S1563D dual motherboard Dual Intel Pentium 133Mhz processors 136MB RAM Adaptec 2940 SCSI-2 PCI controller, revision 1.16 (aic7870) Dual Fujitsu M1606S 1Gb SCSI-2 hard drives Plextor PX-4XCS 4x SCSI CD-ROM, version 1.01 Number Nine Motion 771 PCI video card with 2MB (S3 968) Cirrus Logic 33.6k internal modem I'm running the minimal distribution of 3.0-RELEASE with the sys sources installed. SMP is not enabled (can't compile a kernel). Let me know what information I left out.
