- I ran into a similar problem while compiling Persistence of Vision (PoV),
- the raytracer developed on the dkbtrace code base. It was dying while
- compiling parse.c (the fourth file, so it might be the same problem).
- I eventually tracked it down to a problem with a re_#define'd HUGE_VAL
- (I had was including a replacement for math.h without removing the original).
- So if you are getting a symbol redefinition error, try tracking that down.
- (I got it to the point where that was the only line in the only function in
- the file, and cc1 kept crashing).
-
- I hope this helps. I am using the version of gcc that came in the 0.1 release.
- I have not tried it on newer versions of gcc or different architectures.
