If you get different errors every time, then the mostly likely cause is some sort of hardware problem, such as bad RAM. > make[2]: Entering directory `/apps/gooseflow/gcc-3.4.6/gccobjdir/gcc' > ./genmodes -h > tmp-modes.h > /bin/sh: line 1: 4412 Segmentation fault ./genmodes -h >tmp-modes.h If the error consistently happens when running "./genmodes" (you can ignore the "4412") then there is a bug in gcc or there is a bug in the compiler that you used to build the stage1 compiler. Or, since this is x86_64, perhaps there is some problem with running a 64-bit program, or with the assembler you are using, or with the library you are using. In particular, do you have a 64-bit libc installed? Ian
