when compiling the new ghc pre-releases made my gcc 2.95.3 die with "internal compiler error", I tried to compile it with gcc 3.4.3 (or rather, I thought it compiled with 3.4.1, and when that died, compiled+installed gcc 3.4.3, tried again, say it die again and only then noticed it was actually still using 2.95.3 ;) but had quite some difficulty to actually get it to compile with, in my case, /usr/local/bin/gcc3
When using the following command-line
CC=gcc3 CXX=g++3 nice ./configure --enable-hopengl --prefix=/var/tmp/ghc --with-gcc=/usr/local/bin/gcc3
stage1 still used gcc 2.95.3 to compile stage2 (okay, for --with-gcc that's documented)
Really? --with-gcc should set the gcc for stage1, AFAIK. Is there a bug here?
I've noticed gcc 2.95 crashing on my FreeBSD box too. I should look into whether there's a workaround, otherwise we're hosed on FreeBSD 4.x.

In case you've got nothing else left to do.. ;)
The ghc command which perfectly repeatable kills gcc:

This is a known problem with gcc-2.95. We came across it back in September. It was noticed in the nightly builds: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2004-September/035116.html And then we chased it up: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2004-September/035122.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2004-September/035134.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2004-September/035259.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2004-September/035268.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2004-September/035293.html The bug was dealt with in gcc-3.01 I think, and upgrading to gcc-3.3x certainly stopped it occuring in the OpenBSD nightly builds. Try adding: --with-gcc=gcc-3.x Works for me. If you really need gcc-2.95, then constructing a patch along the lines of the one proposed to solve the test case should probably do it, though it would be a pain. -- Don
