Hello, during a recent upgrade of gcc I saw this in dmesg:
Code:
[3104318.666731] cc1plus[31132]: segfault at 30c3cb76500 ip 00000000011226a1 sp 000003a391dfd1e0 error 4 in cc1plus[400000+1198000]
[3104385.153745] cc1plus[7584]: segfault at 324988b2600 ip 00000000011226a1 sp 000003ef776ef520 error 4 in cc1plus[400000+1198000]

However, emerge doesn't complain. In fact it doesn't seem to mind. Is this a problem?

I'm currently rebuilding the toolchain to see if that stops it.

emerge --info

Hi

It depends - it might - probably it does? ;)

I became aware of such a problem 2 weeks ago while upgrading an old PC (which has some AMD <something> black edition CPU).
Saw such an error message while compiling gcc 4.7, then ran other tests with some other big packages (e.g. glibc) and got from time to time segfaults - some of them made the compilation stop, others didn't.
Identified the problem (overheating) by lowering the max CPU clock in "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[ALL]/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq" and recompiling without "almost" getting such weird messages (if I remember correctly glibc always outputted one, no matter what), which means that in my case the CPU was getting unreliable when going above ~60C (I always had problems with AMD CPUs & GPUs...).

Fastest way for you to check if you're affected by something similar is to recompile gcc after setting your CPU freq to powersave/min. freq. .
Cheers

More than likely some type of hardware problem
Could be memory or the power supply being flaky, pushing the cpu/memory will take more juice.

I don't think it is. I recompiled with a lowered clock speed. Same errors. I compiled glibc with a high clock speed. No errors. I compiled gcc with the full speed clock. Same errors, at the same locations in both the compile process (afaict by clock time) and the executable.
Code:

then with full speed cpu:

Two pairs of segaults, at the same locations in the executable, with the same instruction pointers. Seems to reproducible to be a hardware failure.

In my case immediately after upgrading glibc to =sys-libs/glibc-2.17 I'd encountered massive segfaults in many applications even last stage of glibc upgrading failed.
So i have to downgrade glibc from =sys-libs/glibc-2.17 to =sys-libs/glibc-2.15-r3
