The original question was:

|We have a new SS10/51 running Solaris 1.1 and have experienced really
|strange problem. For example, while compling gcc-2.4.5, we have random
|errors such as:
|
|% make LANGUAGES=c
|
|(staff deleted)
|
|cc -c -DIN_GCC -g -I. -I. -I./config c-typeck.c
|"c-typeck.c", line 2137: compiler error: got signal 11
|*** Error code 1
|make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `c-typeck.o'
|
|The odding thing is that if I try to run the exact identical command,
|I will succeed to compile:
|
|% make LANGUAGES=c
|cc -c -DIN_GCC -g -I. -I. -I./config c-typeck.c
|cc -c -DIN_GCC -g -I. -I. -I./config c-convert.c
|cc -c -DIN_GCC -g -I. -I. -I./config c-aux-info.c
|
|(staff deleted)
|
|The file causing compiler errors looks different in timing. Making
|gcc-2.4.5 from the same source files is no problem on SS10/30 running
|Solaris 1.1.
|
|Any idea?

Most people suggested that I may have run out system resources (temp
file, virtual memory...). But the real problem was the hardware, not
the software.

Last week tech people replaced the mother board with a new one which
has 30MHz Sparc chip (i.e. SS10/30 mother board). After that the
problem has gone. They said that the 50MHz SuperSparc chip is not very
stable, and now we are waiting for a revised SuperSparc chip.
