Segmentaion fault during kernel compile

I met a message like that during kernel compile

"/opt/usr/bin/ppc_82xx-ld -T arch/ppc/vmlinux.lds -Ttext 0xc0000000

-Bstatic arch/ppc/kernel/head.o arch/ppc/kernel/idle_6xx.o init/main.o init/version.o \ --start-group \ arch/ppc/kernel/kernel.o arch/ppc/platforms/platform.o arch/ppc/mm/mm.o arch/ppc/lib/lib.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o \ drivers/char/char.o drivers/block/block.o drivers/misc/misc.o drivers/net/net.o drivers/media/media.o drivers/pci/driver.o drivers/mtd/mtdlink.o drivers/macintosh/macintosh.o drivers/video/video.o \ net/network.o \ /RAID/sunset/EV_64460/SecuiOS-EV64460/lib/lib.a \ secui_utils/nvram/nxg_nvram.o \ --end-group \ -o vmlinux make: *** [vmlinux] Segmentation fault make: *** Deleting file `vmlinux' " As I know Segmentation fault occurs in user level compile!! But I have no idea about what made such segmentation fault during kernel compile.

Additional Question: More precisely , I met above message during kernel ld as you see. And this message often occurred when I modified kernel source codes. Nevertheless I don't have any idea about which code modification made this messge!!

Is it repeatable? Does it crash on the same file every time? If so, it's a gcc bug.

If it happens randomly, it's almost certainly a hardware problem: bad RAM, bad hard drive, overheating CPU, bad motherboard.

Huh? It's ld that's segfaulting.

No.

[...]

If it always happens at that point, it probably a bug in the linker. Check the gnu binutils mailing list.

No, it's during a kernel link.

I should have looked more closely, it's not gcc, it's ld.

One thing which immediately caught my eye was the linking in of:

/RAID/sunset/EV_64460/SecuiOS-EV64460/lib/lib.a

I am not sure where this comes from, but it seems like this is something which you added or came from a third party(since it has an absolute path).

If I was to venture a guess, I would say that there is something wrong with this library which is causing problems.

is it cross compiler ? (if it cross you can try and compile it in native compiler)

arch/ppc/vmlinux.lds - this is the linker script you can look at it and see more details on the linkage
