findutils-4.2.27: build feedback

[Hans Meine]

Hi!

I recently found this post in the archives:
http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-findutils%40gnu.org/msg00864.html
when I was looking for a solution to my problem:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../gnulib/lib -I../..   
-I/software/gettext-0.11.5/include -I/software/libiconv-1.8/include 
-I/software/libiconv-1.8/SunOS-5.8/include 
-I/software/gettext-0.11.5/SunOS-5.8/include  -g -O2 
-c ../../../gnulib/lib/regex.c
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11

Ignore the gettext/libiconv stuff, it's the same without these.
I tried both GCC 2.95.1 and GCC 2.95.3 (I don't have newer ones on this SunOS 
system).

Now I can add that on this Solaris 8 system:
  SunOS kogs1 5.8 Generic_117350-28 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
I could neither compile 4.2.27 nor 4.2.26 (both lead to the sig11),
and with 4.2.25 I get this strange error:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../lib -I.. -I../gnulib/lib -I../../gnulib/lib   
-I/software/gettext-0.11.5/include -I/software/libiconv-1.8/include 
-I/software/libiconv-1.8/SunOS-5.8/include 
-I/software/gettext-0.11.5/SunOS-5.8/include  -g -O2 -c ../../lib/regextype.c
../../lib/regextype.c: In function `get_regex_type_synonym':
../../lib/regextype.c:147: parse error before `int'
../../lib/regextype.c:150: `flags' undeclared (first use in this function)
../../lib/regextype.c:150: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
../../lib/regextype.c:150: for each function it appears in.)
gmake[1]: *** [regextype.o] Error 1

Which I don't understand at all because the code looks fine and is not changed 
by the preprocessor (I ran the above command with -E and it looked the same).
For today, I will stop trying. ;-/
