Details

This occurs from 0.7 beta2, I download Arch 0.7 iso today and then give a try. It occur again.
my environment: Windows 2003 + virtual pc 5.2
I just install base group and "xorg" package, then untar the qvwm lastest source code and into the source directory,run the following command:
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make
when compile going to somewhere, gcc tell me this error message: "internal compiler error: Segmentation fault" and make is fault.
I run make several times, the error occur random.
But it's ok when I boot the 2.4 kernel. At the last I can run to the qvwm desktop, whenever boot 2.4 or 2.6 kernel.
Another things is when I run to qvwm, and open a terminal, within it I can compile the qvwm successfully. To confirm, I do this twice, compile will fault under tty but success in xterm under qvwm.
I do this with udev, and have a try with devfs, it fault alse.
Qvwm from http://www.qvwm.org, version 1.1.12

This task depends upon

Hi, this seems to be a problem of "virtual pc" and no arch bug. I had no problems with compiling "qvwm". Here an original statement from the "virtual pc" newsgroup (www.microsoft.com/.....), about installing linux under "virtual pc":
"... SEGMENTATION FAULT (ignore) # ignore any
of these You will see a lot of error message, these can
be safely ignored. You may get segmentation faults on
some of the below commands, just try the command again
until it works. ..."
Bye

Thanks a lot...
I have a test on my 'real' box and all compiling things is ok. So I think maybe the Arch is optimized for i686 and the VPC has something process uncorrectly, because the Slackware is right and it is optimized for i486.

And another problem is I can NOT run into X in my real box :'( I'll try other package like xfree86 and xorg 6.8.0/6.7.0, then give a detailed description.
Shall I open another task for this ? or just following this task (http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=details&id=1437)?
Please give me a suggestion.
