On June 28th, the powerpc bootstrap was broken due to changes to expmed.c. The bootstrap dies when compiling libgcc.a as mentioned in: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-06/msg02180.html
emit_store_flag gets a GT test that it tries to convert to LE. Inside the recursive call, it then tries to convert the LE back to a GT test. Eventually the compiler runs out of stack space and dies. -- Summary: Powerpc bootstrap is broken due to changes in expmed.c Product: gcc Version: 4.5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P3 Component: bootstrap AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: meissner at gcc dot gnu dot org GCC build triplet: powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu GCC host triplet: powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu GCC target triplet: powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40597
