Failure of 't-fat' test in 'make check' in version 5.0.2 ...

[Richard Walsh]

Marc/All,

Not a MAC ... nope this is the head node of a SGI ICE cluster
with an Intel Nehalem processor.  The compiler is:

service1:/share/apps/gmp/5.0.2/build # icc -V
Intel(R) C Intel(R) 64 Compiler XE for applications running on Intel(R) 64, Version 12.0.0.084 Build 20101006
Copyright (C) 1985-2010 Intel Corporation.  All rights reserved.

The code makes cleanly.  We build everything in 64-bit by default.
This is an HPC Center sight.  The actual message from the 'make check'
output is:

PASS: t-asmtype
PASS: t-aors_1
PASS: t-divrem_1
/bin/sh: line 5: 20756 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) ${dir}$tst
FAIL: t-fat
PASS: t-get_d
PASS: t-instrument
PASS: t-iord_u
PASS: t-mp_bases

Any further thoughts ... I see that this error has come up before
with gcc and patches have been provided to yield a fix.  Also, I
have seen that --disable=static has been suggested.

Thanks,

rbw

Suppose we were to attribute to nature the property of producing like effects under like circumstances; just such like circumstances we should not know how to find. In truth nature exists once only. It is our schematic mental imitation of nature alone produces like events.   -- Ernst Mach, 1888

My crystal ball tells me you are using a Mac (looking for trouble, aren't
you?). And Intel's compiler generates 32bit code by default? Not sure what
kind of failure you got exactly.
