Segfaults with octave (any version) on Sempron machine running Cygwin

[Reiner.Suikat]

Hello all,

I have the following problem:
I compiled octave (2.9xx tarball) on a Windows XP laptop with Centrino
(Pentium-M? CPU) on a Cygwin installation with gcc-3.2.x. (I downloaded
this from the Ptolomy-II website following a hint from this website,
since the compilation using gcc-3.3x produced a very slow octave due to
sjlj exception handling).
The result works fine and loops are executed at least 10 times faster
than the version compiled with gcc-3.3x.
Now I also need to run this on a AMD-Sempron machine running Win98. I
cannot compile on this machine because I keep getting an error
(according to Cygwin mailing list running out of PIDs) making it
impossible to configure and make. Supposedly "rebaseall" should help
with that problem, but is not included in the Cygwin that I'm using.
Running the binary produced on the Win-XP machine works for a while, but
it crashes frequently (seg-fault).
Is this perhaps due to different CPU? Is there a configure-flag I can
set when configuring on the Centrino PC such that the result will also
work fine with the Sempron CPU?

Thanks for any help
Reiner Suikat
