Emacs 21.4.1 Solaris 10 gcc 3.4.3/3.4.6 Fatal error (11).Segmentation

[Richard Jackson]

This is a followup to my post earlier today.  My post is at the bottom.

The problem is exiting emacs 21.4.1 built via both gcc 3.4.3 and 3.4.6 resulted
in a core dump with this error

error (11).Segmentation Fault(coredump)

Starting src/emacs -q or without -q resulted in the error.  The make operation
also recorded this error

./emacs -q -batch -f list-load-path-shadows
gmake[1]: *** [emacs] Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/emacs-21.4/src'
(export PARALLEL; PARALLEL=0; cd leim; gmake all  \
          CC='/usr/sfw/bin/gcc' CFLAGS='-g -O2' CPPFLAGS='' \
          LDFLAGS='-L/usr/openwin/lib' MAKE='gmake')
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/emacs-21.4/leim'
gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/emacs-21.4/leim'

However, compiling emacs 21.4.1 with CFLAGS option 
-fno-zero-initialized-in-bss seemed to solve the problem

CFLAGS='-fno-zero-initialized-in-bss' ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/emacs_21
.4.1 
gmake
src/emacs -q
C-x C-c

This now works.

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

In GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.10, X toolkit)

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I built emacs 21.4.1 with both gcc 3.4.3 (supplied via Solaris 10 3/05
/usr/sfw/bin) and gcc 3.4.6 I built and installed from source.  Emacs
21.4.1 segvi upon exiting (C-x C-c) regardless of being built with
3.4.3 and 3.4.6.

src/emacs -q
C-x C-c

causes the emacs segvi core dump.  gdb 6.4 bt output follows...
