Re: Bug#236291: FWD: [asac@jwsdot.com: Bug#236291: Help needed for hppa Segmentation fault on buildd during configure]




it still fails. I think Joel's analysis is correct, the configure test
seems to be wrong. What is this bit of code in the configure supposed to
catch?

{ /* SCO 3.2v4 cc rejects this.  */
 char *t;
 char const *s = 0 ? (char *) 0 : (char const *) 0;

 *t++ = 0;
}

again I don't think so. We could remove this test but: it is *not* executed during the configure test. The mere compilation must never segfault. I don't exactly know what it tests. But there must be some reasons for this test to be in the configure of all mozilla applications. I guess they use this pattern somewhere in code.

The test is the *same* as its for mozilla-firefox, mozilla & mozilla-thunderbird. Again, we have successful builds by joel and carlos. What shall we do??
