Can anybody tell me why I get this error so _much_ when I am compiling a kernel?
I litteraly get it hundreds of times (seriously). I wrote a script that gives up after 256 errors, and I it still times outs. I am using debian woody with kernel 2.2.17. I do have bin86 installed and these other programs too: gcc 2.95.2-20 make 3.79.1-1 bin86 0.15.3-1 binutils 2.10.1.0.2-1 bzip2 1.0.1-2 fileutils 4.0.32-1 libncurses5-dev 5.0-8 kernel-source-2.2.17 2.2.17-1 I do not have as much trouble compiling programs, but real trouble compiling a kernel. This is the error I always get. It seems that it returns the error for almost every f*n *.c file in there, one after another. Some of then take over fifty times running make bzImage before the process moves on. cc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11 By running the command that it barfed on, some times it too returns the same error, other times it successed. Compiling a kernel on a 400MHz is now an overnight job, once I let it go over night, and it was STILL working on it the next morning!!! Incredable! while ! make bzImage ; do sleep 1 ; done If any one has heard of this happening before, please send me a line. ( don't even get me started on the ordeal I went through with 2.2.18 ) james
