Bug#637236: FTBFS on kfreebsd-amd64: gengtype: Internal error: abort in get_output_file_with_visibility, at gengtype.c:1998



Hi,

The Internal error: abort in get_output_file_with_visibility, at
gengtype.c:1998, seen sometimes on kFreeBSD, seems to be here:

> err = regcomp (files_rules[rulix].frul_re,
>                files_rules[rulix].frul_srcexpr,
>                files_rules[rulix].frul_rflags);
> if (err)
>   {
>     /* The regular expression compilation fails only when
>        file_rules is buggy.  */
>     gcc_unreachable ();

So it seems to fail to compile a regex, but apparently not always.
Unfortunately we can't see the return value / error (and nobody could
reproduce this yet outside of the buildds), but I guess an error that
might happen only _sometimes_ is REG_ESPACE (The regex routines ran out
of memory).

This happens inside of a loop, so maybe something is exhausting
resources and leaving too little memory for when some unused-yet regex
needs to be compiled?  A new obstack is created on each iteration but
they were not being properly freed until this commit (fixing it in GCC
4.7.0, but not in GCC 4.6.3) :

http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?view=revision&revision=172832

So I guess that could be worth a try?


Also in another commit I noticed a change that might be important when
multiple jobs are running (though this doesn't seem to be the situation
yet for gcc-4.6 on kFreeBSD) :

http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/gcc/Makefile.in?r1=177358&r2=177357&pathrev=177358

Specifically this part:
