[nhc-bugs] build failure

[Andres Loeh]

Hi there,

I just tried to build nhc98-1.16, with the three patches that are
available applied, on my (Gentoo) Linux-x86 machine.

After a

./configure --buildwith=gcc
make

I get the following error:

[...]

cd src/prelude/ix86-Linux/NHC; make clean all   # Patch machine-specific parts.

Note that I am building in /var/tmp/portage/nhc98-1.16-r1/work/nhc98-1.16.
This seems to be the first call to the nhc98 script that does actually
call the nhc98comp binary. Indeed, calling nhc98comp immediately
produces a Segmentation fault.

Here's an "strace ./nhc98comp":

Here is which gcc and glibc I use:

gcc-3.3.2
glibc-2.3.2

Any ideas?

Best,
