>Synopsis: Making Cyclone 0.2 with gcc-3.0.3 compiler produces bad cyclone compiler executable.
>Severity: serious
>Priority: medium
>Category: c
>Class: wrong-code
>Release: 3.0.3 (Debian testing/unstable)
>Environment:
System: Linux fluffy.isd.dp.ua 2.4.17 #1 Mon Dec 24 13:13:11 EET 2001 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686
host: i386-pc-linux-gnu
build: i386-pc-linux-gnu

>Description:
During make, compiled and linked cyclone tries to compile bison/main.cyc
cyclone segfaults
>How-To-Repeat:
Download http://www.research.att.com/projects/cyclone/cyclone-0.2.tar.gz
Then do the following :
tar zxf cyclone-0.2.tar.gz
cd cyclone
./configure
vi Makefile.inc
(change CC variable to be gcc-3.0, then save file and exit vi)
make
Then you see this :
make[1]: Entering directory `/disk1/home/mwg/cyclone/cyclone/tools/bison'
/disk1/home/mwg/cyclone/cyclone/bin/cyclone -I/disk1/home/mwg/cyclone/cyclone/include -B/disk1/home/mwg/cyclone/cyclone/bin/cyc-lib -c main.cyc
make[1]: *** [main.o] Segmentation fault
make[1]: Leaving directory `/disk1/home/mwg/cyclone/cyclone/tools/bison'
make: *** [tools] Error 2
I tried to debug this, but without much success. I did not understand its logic completely enough, so I was unable to compose short enough testcase for gcc-3.0
>Fix:
Compiling with gcc-2.95.4 works well. People from AT&T say that gcc-3.0 will not work.
