I tried multiple approaches and found that reducing the optimization level from -O3 to -O2,-O1 does not resolve the segmentation faults.

However, when I removed only the -ffast-math flag (while keeping other optimizations) from Makefile.am, the program ran consistently without any segmentation faults.

This seems to indicate that the instability is likely related to the -ffast-math flag, rather than the optimization level itself.


Interesting! I was not expecting -ffast-math to be the cause of the trouble.

Attaching a rules file to use clang. (Clang seems to break dwz!)

If you are happy to try this, it would show if the problem is with gcc.
If the build works with clang with -ffast-math enabled,
I will raise a bug against gcc for this.


Thanks for suggestion.
Yes, I tested the build using Clang with -ffast-math enabled, but unfortunately the genome.sh test still results in a segmentation fault when run in a loop.

I will once again debug the issue using the gdb tool to get more clarity.Any additional insights or suggestions are most welcome.
