Details

Description:
This system was a completely fresh archlinux install. I was going to build xmonad from the AUR but the first step had gone wrong. I was compiling haskell-x11-darcs (the makepkg -s way). During the build, gcc threw out a segfault.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
gcc 4.4.0-1
haskell-x11-darcs 20081013-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
1. download the PKGBUILD and hsmod.install
2. do makepkg -s
3. gcc segfaults

This was all part of the PKGBUILD so I didn't have the time to look into a stack trace. If anyone has any questions or help on how to give further info, I'll happily listen.
This task depends upon

I can't replicate. Please post some build output.

Are you sure that is the gcc that seg fault?

You use and nvidia GPU card? you have installed and nvidia-utils? If your answer is true, then do is related to libfakeroot and libGL(nvidia). Do this when run makepkg:

LD_PRELOAD=/xyz/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 makepkg

#where "xyz" is the path to a extracted libgl package from Arch Linux for example /home/tom/libgl ;)

@ALLAN McRae
output of makepkg -s attached

@Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Yes, gcc segfaults, and I don't have an nvidia card.

After further investigation I have found the line that produces the segfault in the PKGBUILD (attached for easy reference).
It's line 45: "runhaskell Setup configure --prefix=/usr || return 1"

I have found that running ./configure in the src/X11-build directory (attached for reference) is the problematic file.
More specifically, when I ran it, it segfaulted gcc, and produced a config.log (attached) detailing the problem :P

Compiling the program I have extracted from the config.log segfaults gcc (4.4.0) on my system.

Forgot to include the program :P
Just run gcc test.c

Ok, I have found out that by reinstalling GCC (sudo pacman -R gcc; sudo pacman -S gcc), the problem went away.
As fogobogo suggested in the IRC, I will say "oops pkg borked, my bad, plaese forgive me! i will dontate big $$$" :D
