Segfault on gcc on bignum.c

[Charles Comstock]

with
[167 cc1@tom ~/install/ruby]$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
--enable-install-doc --enable-pthread

I got -

[163 cc1@tom ~/install/ruby]$ make

bignum.c: In function `rb_uint2big':

This appears to be a bug in gcc but anyone have any ideas with this?
The machine has a fair amount of custom hardware and stuff that may be
part of the problem, but anyone else have a problem like this before?

Are you able to reproduce the error? gcc segfaults are typically
indicative of a hardware problem.

Every time I type make it segfaults. It's consistant in that respect.
I don't have another machine I can test that version of gcc on though if
that's what you mean to see if it's a problem with that machine.

Hmm never mind, that's what happened last night, but now it makes fine.
Very strange.
