I am using the RPM to build binary packages with cross compilers. I have
a set of scripts which compile and install RPM on a separate path under
/opt. These scripts so far have managed to produce a valid RPM
installation on a lot of different systems. Old glibc's, old kernels,
whatever.
The combination of software is:
rpm-4.4.5
beecrypt-4.1.2
neon-0.25.5
The other libraries are from the system (libexpat, zlib, bz2, etc).
I tried to do the same on a new server and rpm segfaults while
installing a source RPM. I have not yet configured a database or
anything. Just installing a source RPM causes this behavior:

************************************
This server is a dual quad-core XEON with 8GB RAM. I have installed RPM
successfully on SMP machines before without any problems. The operating
system is ubuntu edgy (6.10), the compiler gcc 4.1.2. I have to note
that the rpm provided by ubuntu is 4.4.1 with the same versions of neon
and beecrypt libraries, and it works fine.
Are there any changes between 4.4.1 and 4.4.5 that might cause this? Do
I need any extra patches for gcc-4.x or glibc-2.4? So far the systems I
have tried where gcc-3.x and glibc-2.3.x.
