I said all along that these segment violations had something to do with the fact that I was using, on a Via Nano processor, a Chapter 5 toolkit which had been built on an Intel Core Duo. I got the impression that this theory was not widely accepted.
I thought that if it was true, the most probable culprits were glibc or gmp, so I tried out another binutils build after completing the build of gcc against these two (now native) libraries. It segfaulted, so that was not where the problem lay. But as I built more basic tools over a couple of days, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be no more segment violations on any of my builds. They all go to completion now, even big ones like perl. So, just for fun, I rebuilt binutils, with gold, and that went to completion too. It's not proof but it does fit my theory. -- If any members of GCHQ are reading this, shame on you! I fought for your right to belong to a trade union and now you are taking away my right to privacy?
