First something to the machine: C3600 running Gentoo. Kernel: 2.6.38.4 Glibc: 2.12.2 Binutils: 2.21.1 Gcc: 4.5.3 I tried to compile CMake, branch next, revision 60b6b190cb569a18b6cf415d85ff59fa120a1035. The exact version isn't really important as I remember that problem for quite a while, it's just for reference. I have a working version of CMake 2.8.4 installed, no idea with which compiler that was built (I updated gcc every now and then as they became stable on Gentoo). Binutils used to build that CMake was very likely 2.20.1. If I just use "cmake /path/to/cmake/source/ && make" I get this result: Linking CXX executable ../bin/ccmake /usr/lib/gcc/hppa2.0-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.3/../../../../hppa2.0-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: libCMakeLib.a(cmGlobalGenerator.cxx.o)(.text._ZNSt8_Rb_treeIN5cmsys6StringESt4pairIKS1_iESt10_Select1stIS4_ESt4lessIS1_ESaIS4_EE16_M_insert_uniqueERKS4_[std::_Rb_tree<cmsys::String, std::pair<cmsys::String const, int>, std::_Select1st<std::pair<cmsys::String const, int> >, std::less<cmsys::String>, std::allocator<std::pair<cmsys::String const, int> > >::_M_insert_unique(std::pair<cmsys::String const, int> const&)]+0xbc): cannot reach 00004abb__ZNSt8_Rb_treeIN5cmsys6StringESt4pairIKS1_iESt10_Select1stIS4_ESt4lessIS1_ESaIS4_EE8_S_rightEPSt18_Rb_tree_node_base+0, recompile with -ffunction-sections /usr/lib/gcc/hppa2.0-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.3/../../../../hppa2.0-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: libCMakeLib.a(cmGlobalGenerator.cxx.o)(.text._ZNSt8_Rb_treeIN5cmsys6StringESt4pairIKS1_iESt10_Select1stIS4_ESt4lessIS1_ESaIS4_EE16_M_insert_uniqueERKS4_[std::_Rb_tree<cmsys::String, std::pair<cmsys::String const, int>, std::_Select1st<std::pair<cmsys::String const, int> >, std::less<cmsys::String>, std::allocator<std::pair<cmsys::String const, int> > >::_M_insert_unique(std::pair<cmsys::String const, int> const&)]+0xbc): cannot handle R_PARISC_PCREL17F for std::_Rb_tree<cmsys::String, std::pair<cmsys::String const, int>, std::_Select1st<std::pair<cmsys::String const, int> >, std::less<cmsys::String>, std::allocator<std::pair<cmsys::String const, int> > >::_S_right(std::_Rb_tree_node_base*) /usr/lib/gcc/hppa2.0-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.3/../../../../hppa2.0-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status If I hack the master CMakeLists.txt to contain "ADD_DEFINITIONS(-march=2.0)" at the very beginning everything compiles fine. But if I run the compiled cmake it will hang in an endless loop somewhere. It does not do any system calls then, but it eats up 100% CPU. I very much doubt that this is a CMake breakage as CMake has many nightly builds and tests on different platforms that work and I see this bug since a while (likely months). Can someone have a look or give some hints?
