Your best bet is to get a new copy of gcc onto this machine from a backup, or from a new install snapshot. I don't think there have been any gcc changes in -stable lately, so it doesn't seem like this is a generic problem and it shouldn't recur. It might have been caused by accidentally doing something on the system which caused it to corrupt the object file while compiling (e.g. ^C at an inopportune moment), marginal hardware (single bit twiddled somewhere critical by a bad RAM chip, flaky cabling to your HD, improperly shielded hardware being interfered with by electrical noise, etc), some obscure disk corruption bug, cosmic rays twiddling your memory, etc :) Kris --yrj/dFKFPuw6o+aM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8kEYzWry0BWjoQKURAkaLAKC31djNumpdIiRUVeAx5erMEHOoCgCgwsv8 S70brSOc/re/pOU3vYzIOSM= =a2MY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --yrj/dFKFPuw6o+aM-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
