[issue14374] Compiling Python 2.7.2 on HP11i PA-RISC ends with segmentation fault in Python executable

[donchen]

New submission from donchen <don.chen at oracle.com>:

Hello,
I am compiling Python2.7 on a HP11i PA-RISC machine and received a segmentation fault.

Platform Information
   "uname -a" = HP-UX hpdev2 B.11.11 U 9000/800 2280874925 unlimited-user license
 
Steps
    1) uncompress Python tgz file
    2) run "configure CC=aCC CXX=aCC"
    3) make

Result: Segmentation fault at library generation time.
    $> ranlib libpython2.7.a
       aCC -Ae  -Wl,-E -Wl,+s -o python \
       Modules/python.o \
       libpython2.7.a -lnsl -lrt -ldld  -lpthread   -lm
    sh[3]: 15168 Bus error(coredump)
    *** Error exit code 138
 
Analysis: core file generated by Python executable
    $> file python
       python: PA-RISC2.0 shared executable dynamically linked -not stripped
    $> file libpython2.7.a

There was an issue9178 (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2010-July/104448.html) with a similar topic but the compiler generated segmentation fault instead. In this case the core file seems
to be from Python itself. I have attached Makefile for your reference.
 
Thank you for your help!
