Just an update to my previous post asking if anyone has compiled the
toolchain for use on a hosted webserver environment such as Dreamhost...

I've just had another run at it, (using the excellent guide at
http://www.electricrock.co.nz/blog/2010/01/building-c30-v32/ ) and
achieved a different success/failure spread from the last time I tried.

Dreamhost recently shifted me from 32bit to a 64bit virtual host, and
apparently fixed the slightly odd home path issue. Where previously I had
difficulty compiling GCC, that part now works perfectly.

However, the binutils are all crashing with segfaults. eg:

$ bin/pic30-coff-gcc -mcpu=30F4013 -o test test.c
  -mresource=info/c30_device.info
warning: Resource version (3.23) does not match compiler!
pic30-coff-gcc: Internal error: Segmentation fault (program pic30-coff-as)

same thing if I run any of them (pic30-coff-as, pic30-coff-ld,
pic30-coff-objdump, etc) directly. Except 'pic30-coff-bin2hex' for some
reason, that one works.

so the binaries have sane names and sizes, at least.

System info:
$ uname -a
Linux panthers 2.6.32.8-grsec-2.1.14-modsign-2-xeon #1 SMP Tue Feb 23
00:29:06 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Anyone got the 3.23 toolchain working on 64bit linux/xeon machines? Or any
version compiled for 64bit? I have a feeling that's the issue.

The REALLY funny thing is the 3.20 binutils binaries I compiled months ago
(when the binutils compiled fine, but gcc just wouldn't) still work! (yay
for binary compatibility.) I'd rather not borg together 32bit binutils
3.20 and 64bit gcc 3.23, though.

Help!
