While investigating PR 25840, I notice that when there is a fatal error during libjava build, build doesn't stop. I found this in my build log:
creating gcj-dbtool ./gcj-dbtool -n classmap.db || touch classmap.db creating gij /bin/sh: line 1: 17842 Segmentation fault ./gcj-dbtool -n classmap.db make[5]: Leaving directory `/export/build/gnu/gcc-next/build-x86_64-linux/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libjava' The problem is in libjava/Makefile.am: ## The .db file. This rule is only used for native builds, so it is ## safe to invoke gcj-dbtool. $(db_name): gcj-dbtool$(EXEEXT) ## In case it exists already. @rm -f $(db_name) ## We don't actually care if it fails -- if it does, just make an ## empty file.
