 Yes, there is.

 
  See /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf for a list of valid CPUTYPEs.

 That file lists i686 as a valid value for CPUTYPE.

Ok, after some CVS research, there's a discontinuity between RELENG_5 and
-CURRENT between bsd.cpu.mk and make.conf. I'll poke obrien about this.
Ignore my blabbering for now. :)

Strange.  I just cvsup'ed earlier today to 5_RELENG and
didn't have any problems with my buildworld.  My uname looks
like:
---
FreeBSD ops.tamu.edu 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #0: Sat Dec  4 06:52:38 CST

so the cvsup happened sometime around 0600 CST.  Something may
have been added in the mean time, but...

More importantly, what does your /etc/make.conf look
like?

A machine throwing a segfault is fairly characteristic of a CPU overheating

I'll chime in here (again!) and mention that I was having the same 
problem yesterday trying to make buildworld (5.3 Release).

It turned out that one of my RAM modules was bad and the bios must not 
have fully mapped out all of the bad parts. After removing the offending 
memory module (through trial and error), freebsd is as stable as ever 
and my builds went flawlessly.

So Godwin is probably right. It is probably bad RAM.

That's fair enough..,

 
   More importantly, what does your /etc/make.conf look
 like?

Here's what's in there:

# -- use.perl generated deltas -- #
# Created: Sat Dec  4 19:36:28 2004
# Setting to use base perl from ports:
PERL_VER=5.8.5
PERL_VERSION=5.8.5
PERL_ARCH=mach
NOPERL=yo
NO_PERL=yo
NO_PERL_WRAPPER=yo
CPUTYPE?=i686
CFLAGS= -O -pipe
NOPROFILE= true# Avoid compiling profiled libraries

That's about it.., Like I said, its a newly installed machine that in the 
process of being set up - at this stage, its a matter of getting it to 5-Stable.

In keeping with others' suggestions that this might well be symptomatic of RAM 
issues, I've swapped out all of the RAM and have restarted as per:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
19.4.16.6. What do I do if something goes wrong?

So. I've just kicked off (scripted logging as well) another buildworld, and 
will post again when this one completes. Unless of course, you determine that 
this indeed something wrong with the contents of my /etc/make.conf..,

Thanks again.

Regards,

Stacey

The problem was indeed dodgy RAM! I swapped the RAM out for other modules, and 
buildworld (and the complete upgrade to Stable, as a matter of fact) completed 
successfully.

Strange though.., the machine I've been working on was originally running 
Fedora Core-3 quite happily - even recompiled a new kernel before trashing it 
for FreeBSD.., Go figure..,

Thanks again to everyone - onwards!

Stacey
