bug#43152: 28.0.50; when building emacs 28.0.50 ./temacs is stopped with core
Philippe Spiesser
yesterday, I have updated the local directory of emacs 28.0.50 to
rebuild a new version; the last time I've updated was the 9 of august
and everything was OK.
Building stops with the messages :
cp -f temacs bootstrap-emacs
rm -f bootstrap-emacs.pdmp
./temacs --batch -l loadup --temacs=pbootstrap
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs.pdmp] Segmentation fault: 11
make: *** [src] Error 2
I can't explain this.
I hope it's the correct place to send this message

Also, please include the full commands you used to build this, starting
with configure.

under GDB, and when it crashes, produce the backtrace and post it
here.

This is macOS, where one cannot use GDB without some jumping through
hoops, sigh.
Well, we need to know where (file name and line number) it segfaults;
it is hard to make progress without knowing that much. If you can use
LLDB, or some other method, to find that out, please post that
information.
Thanks.

Running GDB on macOS sometimes brings an error message like this:
Unable to find Mach task port for process-id NNN: (os/kern) failure (0x5).
To overcome this, search the Internet for the phrase "Unable to find
Mach task port for process-id", and you will find detailed
instructions to follow.

ago I used gdb, so I don't know if usage is correct.

This is macOS, where one cannot use GDB without some jumping through hoops, sigh.It's not too bad, IMHO. Here are the instructions from etc/DEBUG: Running GDB on macOS sometimes brings an error message like this: Unable to find Mach task port for process-id NNN: (os/kern) failure (0x5).

on macOS, so I reverted the commit and its dependents. This should fix your
problem, whatever it is.
