I'm compiling gcc 4.3.1 on OpenBSD 4.3, using gcc 3.3.5. While configuring libgcc, configure failed saying "configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile". The relevant section of config.log was: configure:2398: /tmp/objdir/./gcc/xgcc -B/tmp/objdir/./gcc/ -B/usr/local/i386-unknown-openbsd4.3/bin/ -B/usr/local/i386-unknown-openbsd4.3/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/i386-unknown-openbsd4.3/include -isystem /usr/local/i386-unknown-openbsd4.3/sys-include -o conftest -O2 -g -g -O2 conftest.c >&5 cc1: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions. configure:2401: $? = 1 So I loaded cc1 into gdb: (gdb) set arg conftest.c (gdb) r Starting program: /tmp/objdir/gcc/cc1 conftest.c Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x1c03579f in c_common_init_options (argc=2, argv=0x10000000) at /usr/local/src/gcc-4.3.1/gcc/c-opts.c:247 247 if (! strcmp (argv[i], "-lang-asm")) (gdb) bt #0 0x1c03579f in c_common_init_options (argc=2, argv=0x10000000) at /usr/local/src/gcc-4.3.1/gcc/c-opts.c:247 #1 0x1c148cd5 in decode_options (argc=2, argv=0x10000000) at /usr/local/src/gcc-4.3.1/gcc/opts.c:733 #2 0x1c1b2a76 in toplev_main (argc=2, argv=0x10000000) at /usr/local/src/gcc-4.3.1/gcc/toplev.c:2266 #3 0x1c0502bf in main (argc=2, argv=0xcfbeec14) at /usr/local/src/gcc-4.3.1/gcc/main.c:35 Stepping through this part of the code, it looks like general_init(argv[0]) is stomping on argv at the call to xmalloc_set_program_name(progname). I don't know about all the function calls in general_init(), so I just assigned argv = save_argv after the call to general_init in toplev_main () in toplev.c. That seems to have fixed the problem for now, but I'm afraid I've missed a bigger problem. Does anyone have any insight here? -Jason
