Hello,
I'm getting bad results on linux-ppc platform. Building glibc 2.5 or glibc HEAD
using recent gcc snapshot (20070207) on linux ppc 32bit causes rpcgen binary
(built and later used in rest of glibc build process) to segfault. On x86_64,
x86 there is no problem.
In my case:
gcc-4.2.0-0.20070207.1.ppc (version from ~ October 2006 was afaik OK)
binutils-2.17.50.0.12-1.ppc (tried 2.17.50.0.5, 0.7, 0.11, too)
Trying to reproduce under gdb:

It seem that similar errors were visible in older gcc versions (there are
bugreports in bugzilla). Looks like the problem is back again.
