The following command line causes the gcc/g++ driver front-end to crash with a
core dump (segmentation fault):
gcc -O -O -O -O -O -O -O -O -O -O -O -O -O -O -O -O -O -O -O -O -Wall -Wall
hello.cpp
Note: The example is only meant as easy to reproduce failing case. Actually the
problem occured in a command line with mixed options that happened to repeat
-Wall two times and by accident had the "right" number of other options -D, -I,
... in a qmake-generated Makefile.
The EXACT number of command line options is critical: with more or with lesser
options the problem is NOT triggered.
Also the option -Wall may be mixed with the others, as long as it appears
exactly two times OR three times.
For further info complete -v output:
