Segmentation fault during compilation

Hey everybody,

I've been trying to compile wine since version 1.0 and have gotten crashes during the make command, about 20 minutes in. Very frustrating.

I'm running Fedora 9, and I believe gcc version 4.3.0.8. Is this a gcc problem? If so, what can I do to fix it?

Output of failed make command follows...

gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../../include -I../../../include -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -Wall -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wwrite-strings -Wtype-limits -Wpointer-arith -g -O2 -o input.o input.c

The usual cause of segfaults during compiling is bad hardware - either
CPU or memory. This is particularly the case if you're segfaulting in
different places each time. You can try memtest86 ( or whatever it's
called ) to check your memory ( but I think gcc is supposed to be much
more taxing on your memory than memtest86 ). You can also underclock
your CPU ( is it currently overclocked ? )

I don't know about this *exact* version of gcc, but I ran various
version of gcc-4.3.0 on many different Gentoo systems, and I *never* got
segfaults. Maybe you've found an obscure gcc bug, but I doubt it. It's
far more likely that you've got hardware issues.

This is a known Fedora's problem. Run 'ulimit -s unlimited' before compiling Wine.

That fixed it.
