rockboxdev.sh gcc/combine.c error

torne:
Sorry, it's not your english skills but my lack of thorough reading of your post. :)

The rockboxdev.sh script just calls gcc's build process, it doesn't do anything itself. If the gcc build fails on the same file every time, even on a VM, then there's a problem, but it's not one anyone else has using the same source.

The command you gave is not complete, it's missing the beginning (most of the invocations of gcc during the build are 10+ lines long) so I can't see whether it's running the host compiler or the stage1/stage2 compiler. if it's the former then it's probably an issue with the version of gcc in your Ubuntu version.. if the latter then something strange is going on because that's the binary built by earlier stages of the gcc build which should be relatively consistent with what everyone else gets :)

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 (upgraded from 10.04 without formatting) and last time I ran tools/configure.sh I had no problems.

Obviously, something might have changed in the SVN in the meantime that might have caused that. But as torne says, it might be the specific gcc instalation.

torne:
When was the last time? We change gcc version from time to time, so rockboxdev.sh is not always building the same thing.

gbl08ma:
About a month and a half ago. The gcc package on the Ubuntu repositories or the tools/rockboxdev.sh could have changed in this time...

Well, i finally figured it out  8)

After my last message I tried Ubuntu 9.10 VM and manual installation of different versions of GCC and all that fail but with errors in different modules.  So i tested my RAM with memtest (from Ubuntu's bootloader) and it's looked ok. After that i loaded "fail safe" options in BIOS and rockboxdev.sh worked out for me  just fine.

So torne was right- it's the flaky hardware in my situation, but that's still a little bit mystery for me. Thanks for assistance!
