gcc segfault in compiling the kernel 8.2-STABLE

[ahavatar]

Greetings,

I was doing routine updates on my FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE box,

$ uname -a
FreeBSD slash 8.2-STABLE FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #0: Sun Oct 30 19:58:12 KST 2011     root@slash:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

After cvsup'ed today's FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE source codes, I ran [cmd=]make builworld && make buildkernel[/cmd] and got the following errors:

cc -c -O2 -frename-registers -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing  -std=c99 -g -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes

Any idea why I got gcc segfaults while compiling the kernel? Many thanks.

Does it do that repeatedly at the same spot? Try to continue the compilation with

# make buildkernel NO_CLEAN=1

If it crashes at a different spot you most likely have hardware problems, bad memory or cpu overheating.
