Bug#567641: linux-source-2.6.32: segmentation fault during compile

[Daniel Bolton <danielbarrettbolton@gmail.com>]

Package: linux-source-2.6.32
Version: 2.6.32-5
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source


I installed linux-source-2.6.32, copied the tarball from /usr/src/ to my regular
user's home, extracted it, ran 'make menuconfig', changed the Processor Type
from "generix x86_64" to "K8", saved the changes, ran 'make-kpkg clean', and
finally ran 'fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version "-dbb-deb" --revision
"20100130" --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers'. About five minuted in to the
compiling, it stopped with the following error (using gcc 4.3):

  CC      block/deadline-iosched.o
  CC      block/cfq-iosched.o
  CC      block/compat_ioctl.o
block/compat_ioctl.c: In function ‘compat_fd_ioctl’:
block/compat_ioctl.c:452: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.3/README.Bugs> for instructions.
make[2]: *** [block/compat_ioctl.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [block] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/daniel/source/kernels/linux-source-2.6.32'
make: *** [debian/stamp/build/kernel] Error 2


I then tried linking /usr/bin/gcc to gcc 4.4 and starting the process over (I
re-extracted the tarball to ensure a clean build directory). That also halted
about 5 minuted in, this time with the following error:


  CC      crypto/md5.o
  CC      crypto/rng.o
  CC      crypto/krng.o
crypto/krng.c: In function ‘krng_mod_init’:
crypto/krng.c:50: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.4/README.Bugs> for instructions.

make[1]: *** [crypto] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/daniel/source/kernels/linux-source-2.6.32'
make: *** [debian/stamp/build/kernel] Error 2


I don't know what package actually contains a bug, so I am submitting this
report againt linux-source-2.6.32.
