Between 20100628 and 20100705, all Objective-C execution tests started to fail on Solaris 2/SPARC. E.g,
FAIL: objc.dg/bitfield-1.m -fgnu-runtime execution test bitfield-1.exe SEGVs with this stacktrace: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 1 (LWP 1)] sel_get_name (selector=0x0) at /vol/gcc/src/hg/trunk/solaris/libobjc/selector.c:299 (gdb) where #0 sel_get_name (selector=0x0) at /vol/gcc/src/hg/trunk/solaris/libobjc/selector.c:299 #1 0xfeb7e8a0 in -[Object notImplemented:] (self=0x20eb4, _cmd=0xfeb97c5c, aSel=0x0) at /vol/gcc/src/hg/trunk/solaris/libobjc/Object.m:306 #2 0xfeb7e420 in +[Object conformsTo:] (self=<value optimized out>, _cmd=<value optimized out>, aProtocol=0xfea35800) at /vol/gcc/src/hg/trunk/solaris/libobjc/Object.m:213 #3 0x00010af4 in main () The selector argument to sel_get_name is NULL, so a NULL pointer is dereferenced.
