how to test Gcc (.c, cc, cxx, etc) ?

[ddc]

hello
trying to emerge cmake is returning "compiler internal segmentation fault"
that makes me thinking my devchain may be broken

i say "it may be" 'cause i had success about emerging a lot of things with the same devchain

[John R. Graham]

Maybe by compiling something?

[ddc]

well, just compiling "hello world" code is not enough to test a dev chain

anyway, i got the same error at the same place: segmentation fault

i suspect something bad about sandbox, or swap
(any other reason for a segmentation fault ?
i mean ... segmentation fault can also occur under following circumstances:

a) A buggy program / command, which can be only fixed by applying patch.
b) It can also appear when you try to access an array beyond the end of an array under C programming.
c) Inside a chrooted jail this can occur when critical shared libs, config file or /dev/ entry missing.
d) Sometime hardware or faulty memory or driver can also create problem.
e) Maintain suggested environment for all computer equipment (overheating can also generate this problem)


i am thinking about a) what could be buggy?

b) is not probable about binutils
c) i am not chrooted
d) hw seems to be right ... anyway i've never got any strange behaving, and i have emerged gcc, which takes 2-no-stop days
e) i do not suspect about any overheating, the compiling machine is a PDA

)


also, i emerge glibc and gcc without any issue, but now i got this
