Segmentation fault in DB_File with perl-5.8.6 gcc-3.3.2 #7711

I recently "upgraded" gcc from 3.3 to 3.3.2 - now DB_File does not work.

5 tests fail in the test suite - all involving DB_File ext/DB_File/t/db-btree.t ext/DB_File/t/db-hash.t ext/DB_File/t/db-recno.t lib/Memoize/t/errors.t lib/Memoize/t/tie.t

More simply​: % ./perl -Ilib -MDB_File -e1 Segmentation fault

perl-5.8.6 compiled and passed all tests with gcc 3.3

I tried compiling db-3.1.17 with gcc-3.4.3 and then compiling perl-5.8.6 with the same gcc. I had problems getting the perl configuration/compilation to see and link to the db library\, and then\, when I did\, I got a segmentation fault with the same (or similar) back trace.

I then tried to build another XS extension and had more linking problems.

My conclusion is that the fault is with my build of gcc-3.4.3 not with db or DB_File.

I have given up and reinstalled gcc-3.3 and am rebuilding perl-5.8.6 with that. So it will be difficult for me to do further investigation of gcc-3.3.2+ or -3.4+

Hmmm\, not sure about mixing'n'matching gcc. Any chance you could try building both with the same gcc?

I've been building perl with 64-bit and db since I first compiled db- 3.1.17 (in 2000).

I successfully built perl-5.8.6 with 64-bit and db-3.1.17 using gcc-3.3 I successfully built perl-5.8.6 with 64-bit and db-4.3.27 using gcc-3.4.3

So I guess there is some incompatibility between the perl build using newer gcc and db built with an older gcc.
