emacs crashes during make bootstrap

emacs crashes during make bootstrap

[Daniel Brooks]

I've successfully built emacs 22 from cvs on this machine, but recently I had the opportunity to upgrade (aka hardware failure) and now use a 64 bit system. My existing copy of emacs works just fine, but I went to recompile it one day, and it segfaults when I try to run the newly compiled emacs. make bootstrap is an easy way to reproduce it.

Here's what I see:

../src/bootstrap-emacs -batch --no-site-file --multibyte -l autoload --eval '(setq generated-autoload-file "/home/db48x/src/emacs/lisp/loaddefs.el")' -f batch-update-autoloads $wins

I'm not at all familiar with the internals of emacs, so has anyone else seen anything like this? How should I go about fixing it? The only configure option I've used is --with-gtk, but given the stack that doesn't look like it's a problem.

What machine is this? Which operating system? Is your compiler 64 bit  
fit? Do you use flags to create a 64 application? Are your libraries  
64 bit ready? Can you try to compile with -O0 among the CFLAGS?

These are my principles and if you don't like them... well, I have  
others.

Fedora Core 5, 64 bit compiler, I used whatever flags configure thought best. However, just for laughs, I nuked my emacs directory and grabbed a fresh copy from cvs, and it built perfectly the first time. I guess make distclean didn't do the job well enough. Thanks though :)
