- Since 0.97 and up appeared, I was having some troubles compiling large
- programs (such as the kernel) under Linux. I was getting errors such as:
-
- ld: premature end of file in strings of "somefile".o
- or
- gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 6
- or
- gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11

- Well, after a lot SIMM swapping If finaly identified four 1Mx9 SIMMs that
- were bad in my system.
-
- I have a 486 33Mhz with 8Megs of RAM and the bad SIMMs were in the lower
- bank.
-
- It is funny that under 0.96cp2 I didn't have any problems and that the
- public domain RAM tests that I run when I bought my system didn't detect
- anything !
-
- Anybody knows about a good RAM test program ?
-
- For those interested, the four bad SIMMs were made by Toshiba and I replaced
- them by Goldstars SIMMs. My four other SIMMs are made by Eagle (2) and
- CuBig (2). All SIMMs are 1Mx9 3-chips.
-
- Hope this information can help.
