------- Comment #16 from WISD00M at GMX dot NET 2006-09-13 00:44 ------- Also, with regards to "bad hardware": this is a multiprocessor server system that's in use every day, it's got numerous inbuilt hardware failure-detection mechanisms, so as soon as there's a CPU, memory or hard disk problem, the admin (me) gets notified immediatley. And there are clearly not any warnings at all.
So, given all these self-tests (that even take almost ~5 minutes before the actual system really boots up) I should actually be able to be reasonably sure that this is no hardware problem at all. You said you were able to build it on i686-linux-gnu, was this also an SMP machine? I am really more than willing to take into consideration that this is a local (software) problem (i.e. due to parts of the GNU toolchain being outdated or whatever), nonetheless the previously mentioned google findings suggest that it isn't a totally isolated issue at all. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29049
