From: ardouin@asterix.drev.dnd.ca (Jean-Pierre Ardouin) Subject: compiler errors under .97, problem solved ! Date: 14 Sep 1992 12:03:20 GMT
Since 0.97 and up appeared, I was having some troubles compiling large
programs (such as the kernel) under Linux. I was getting errors such as:
ld: premature end of file in strings of "somefile".o
or
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 6
or
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11
Well, after a lot SIMM swapping If finaly identified four 1Mx9 SIMMs that
were bad in my system.
I have a 486 33Mhz with 8Megs of RAM and the bad SIMMs were in the lower
bank.
It is funny that under 0.96cp2 I didn't have any problems and that the
public domain RAM tests that I run when I bought my system didn't detect
anything !
Anybody knows about a good RAM test program ?
For those interested, the four bad SIMMs were made by Toshiba and I replaced
them by Goldstars SIMMs. My four other SIMMs are made by Eagle (2) and
CuBig (2). All SIMMs are 1Mx9 3-chips.
Hope this information can help.
