hello

this is my first try at a lfs system. the computer is a via epia MII6000. i am using the live cd 6.1-3.


Some via cpus in the past didn't have an instruction gcc used for i686. But if you can bootstrap the first compiler and build glibc, I doubt that is the problem.

everything goes fine up till compiling tcl. it segfaults with the following message

gcc -pipe -c -O2 -DTCL_DBGX= -Wall -Wno-implicit-int -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIC -I./../generic -I. -DPEEK_XCLOSEIM=1 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE=1 -DTCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE=long\ long -DHAVE_STRUCT_STAT64=1 -DHAVE_OPEN64=1

/bin/sh: line 1: 23253 Segmentation fault      ranlib libtclstub8.4.a
make: *** [libtclstub8.4.a] Error 139

it always fails in the same place with the same error


Segmentation faults ('signal 11') are usually a sign that something is not well - bad memory, insufficient processor cooling, perhaps bad power supply. But, gcc and glibc are usually a much harder test of the machine, and failing in the exact same place is not especially common.

I recommend running memtest86+ for several hours. Via epias tend to come in exotic cases, you might want to check if the cooling seems adequate (e.g. use any bios readings, or feel how hot any external metalwork gets).
