I was trying to compile firefox 3.0.4 from sources using profile guided
optimization when I receive a float point exception from gcc.
It was after running the firefox to generate the profile data.
This is info that the "reporting bugs" suggests:
* the exact version of GCC
gcc (GCC) 4.0.3
* the system type
Athlon64 X2 3600
Linux 2.6.27.4
GLibc 2.3.6
Linux from scratch 6.2 (distribution)
* the complete command line that triggers the bug
gcc -DOSTYPE=\"Linux2.6.27\" -DOSARCH=Linux -I. -I. -I../dist/include
-I../dist/include -I../dist/include/nspr -I../dist/sdk/include

the options given when GCC was configured/built
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib --enable-shared \
--enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit \
--enable-clocale=gnu --enable-languages=c,c++
* the compiler output (error messages, warnings, etc.)
I have added the -Wall option

I will send the elf-dynstr-gc.i file. I will send the *.gcda and *.gcno too
because I am using profile guided optimization.
