Package: gcc-4.3 Version: 4.3.2-1.1 Severity: important Tags: lenny When I build GMP 4.3.0 with gcc 4.3.2, I get the following errors in "make check":
rootrem.c:338: GNU MP assertion failed: bn >= qn /bin/sh: line 4: 2231 Aborted (core dumped) ${dir}$tst FAIL: reuse rootrem.c:338: GNU MP assertion failed: bn >= qn /bin/sh: line 4: 2256 Aborted (core dumped) ${dir}$tst FAIL: t-root This is a known bug in GCC 4.3.2 (I don't have any reference for the moment, but I can ask for more information), that has been fixed in GCC 4.3.3. I wonder if the patch can be backported to lenny, as such bugs (compiler bugs which silently lead to incorrect code) can have nasty effects on software the user or administrator has compiled: incorrect results, erratic behavior... -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gcc-4.3 depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-7 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii cpp-4.3 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU C preprocessor ii gcc-4.3-base 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Compiler Collection (base ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libgomp1 4.3.2-1.1 GCC OpenMP (GOMP) support library Versions of packages gcc-4.3 recommends: ii libc6-dev 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Development Librari Versions of packages gcc-4.3 suggests: pn gcc-4.3-doc <none> (no description available) pn gcc-4.3-locales <none> (no description available) ii gcc-4.3-multilib 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU C compiler (multilib files pn libgcc1-dbg <none> (no description available) pn libgomp1-dbg <none> (no description available) pn libmudflap0-4.3-dev <none> (no description available) pn libmudflap0-dbg <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
