I'm going to try 2.6.27.7 as well. Try rc6. It seems better than rc5. With rc5 and JEB's ion config on rp3340, bash dumped core four times building rc6. In general, I see more random segfaults in bash and make than any other applications. rc6 is certainly not perfect. I managed a full GCC build but in the testsuite (ada) I has this error in the build log: ... Running chapter cc ... sed: option requires an argument -- e Usage: sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]... -n, --quiet, --silent suppress automatic printing of pattern space -e script, --expression=script add the script to the commands to be executed -f script-file, --file=script-file add the contents of script-file to the commands to be executed -i[SUFFIX], --in-place[=SUFFIX] edit files in place (makes backup if extension supplied) -l N, --line-length=N specify the desired line-wrap length for the `l' command --posix disable all GNU extensions. -r, --regexp-extended use extended regular expressions in the script. -s, --separate consider files as separate rather than as a single continuous long stream. -u, --unbuffered load minimal amounts of data from the input files and flush the output buffers more often --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit If no -e, --expression, -f, or --file option is given, then the first non-option argument is taken as the sed script to interpret. All remaining arguments are names of input files; if no input files are specified, then the standard input is read. E-mail bug reports to: bonzini@xxxxxxx . Be sure to include the word ``sed'' somewhere in the ``Subject:'' field.
