Lots of Segment Faults with grsec 1.9.7d

[ph0x]

I've tried to compile Bahamut, among other things, on my slackware box with 2.4.19-grsec (1.9.7d) and I get a lot of Segment Faults.

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ircd/bahamut-1.4.35/src'
gcc -Wall -g -O2 -DUSE_POLL -I../include -I../zlib -c hash.c
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 4
make[1]: *** [hash.o] Error 1

It takes me at least 10 tries to complete the compiling of Bahamut, and my distributed.net client crashes randomly with "Segment Fault" error message.

Would it help to upgrade to 2.4.20 and the latest grsec patch?

Thanks in advance,
Andreas

gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 4

is it always signal 4 (SIGILL)? also, what PaX options are enabled?

Would it help to upgrade to 2.4.20 and the latest grsec patch?

definitely, since it has a newer PaX version in it (and i don't see what else in grsec could be causing this kind of symptoms). if you want to keep 2.4.19 for the time being, you can at least try to apply the latest PaX patch itself and see if that solves the problem (if it does, then you'll have to update to 2.4.20 to use the latest grsec).
