I've been running vanilla 0.9 for some time now with no real problems.
Recently I decided to upgrade to current to get ppp and shared libs.
But, while trying to do a make in /usr/src/lib I keep getting
spontaneous reboots. Here's what I've done:
- extracted all the latest current tar files on top of my src tree
- extracted someone's pre-packaged shlib-bootstrap files onto my
system which included a new gcc/cc, as, ld, and shared libc and
libmalloc
- made and installed the share/mk stuff
- made and installed the current src/include
- made and installed a new crt0
- made and installed a new mkdep
At this point I went into /usr/src/lib and did make. It churns away
for awhile compiling then spontaneously reboots. I start it again
from where it left off, it churns away some more, then reboots again.
I've tried all sorts of shell limit values and nothing makes a
difference.
I then grabbed the all the libraries off my office-mate's
(explorer@iastate.edu) machine, who is running current, as well as
grabbing his gcc, as, and ld. Then I rebuilt crt0 again.
Same result. Make churns for awhile, compiling a few object modules,
then the machine reboots.
Can anyone shed any light onto possible causes?
If it matters: ALR BusinessVeisa 366dx33, 64k cache, 10meg RAM, 2
Conner CP3104 100meg IDE hard drives (both are completely NetBSD),
WD8013EBT ether card (compiles were via telnet).
I've never had it behave like this until I started doing things with
the current-compiled gcc/ld/as and libraries.
