We're using gcc 4.6.3 and the ooops here happens when something hits the swap. The similiar problem was spotted in Arch linux https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29694 and their solution was to remove the 13621 patch from arch binutils. -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
