Re: I experience a Crash during ./configure conftest somewhere (MacOSX)

Hi,

Apple intends to use the llvm compiler suite for building Snow
Leopard (10.6) itself, so I will use llvm for testing builds of
any project first under Leopard (10.5.6 but without latest
Security Update 2009-001 since I've read problems with it).
I will use llvm as provided by XCode-3.1.2 with your released
stable coreutils-7.1 now.

Also, I know y'all have worked on Apple's style of multi-arch
support recently, but many requisite pieces are not yet ready
like that (some projects still need each arch to be built
separately and lipo'd together).  Oh I know I could use Apple's
versions of those requisites that _have_ been built with all
four archs, but I like staying current (hah) and do 'em myself
(/usr/local).  So I KISS by building only for i386 (32-bit).

The conftest crash still occurs here during coreutils-7.1
./configure with llvm and with gcc-4.2 at least.

I went ahead with building & installing coreutils-7.1 anyway.

Running "make check" as user (created by OSX's install admin)
has a couple FAILs:
dd/skip-seek-past-file.log
install/install-C.log
with lots of SKIPs of course.

Running "make check" as sudo root (after enabling it per doc'd
procedure) has a bunch of FAILs:
dd/skip-seek-past-file.log
install/install-C.log
cp/special-bits.log
install/install-C-root.log
misc/truncate-owned-by-other.log
mv/sticky-to-xpart.log
rm/no-give-up.log
touch/now-owned-by-other.log
and still lots of SKIPs.

I hope the attached Finder-compressed archive has enough reports.
I'll try to help, but give me some time (day or two) to respond.

[P.S.  Already I've found I cannot trust llvm while many parts
of GNOME seem to be miscompiled with usual optimization
settings, and have sent many crashreports to Apple about them.
I then fall back to Apple's gcc-4.2 suite.  But then for ex.
*no* XCode-provided suite will build p7zip completely ("make
all3"), and filed a bugreport with that project asking for help
before I take it to Apple.]

[P.P.S.  I hope hushmail is properly linking Reply-To headers
here.  (I have reasons to use their service ;) plus this is a
paid-for account.)  If not, gmane is probably my only other
option (I'm registered there for other maillists), but they
only carry coreutils-announce and a couple of the gnulib lists.
Could someone authorized for these projects add the other
necessary lists to gmane, please?]
