I just updated parrot to svn rev 24322 and attempted to do a clean
build. The build failed with a segfault calling miniparrot to generate
config.fpmc. Here is the output:
gcc -o miniparrot src/main.o \
-Wl,-rpath=/home/joe/work/parrot_svn/blib/lib
-L/home/joe/work/parrot_svn/blib/lib -lparrot -lresolv -lnsl -ldl -lm
-lcrypt -lutil -lpthread -lrt -lgmp -lreadline -L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-E
src/null_config.o
Invoking Parrot to generate runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc --cross
your fingers
./miniparrot config_lib.pasm > runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc
/bin/sh: line 1: 13437 Segmentation fault ./miniparrot
config_lib.pasm > runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc
make: *** [runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc] Error 139
I wanted to make sure this wasn't anything left in my tree, so I checked
out into another clean directory and built again, same result.
I ran miniparrot in gdb, here is the backtrace:
