Avoid GCC 4.6 segfaults Buildroot's attempt to build a GCC 4.6.x cross-compilation toolchain might fail with something like /some/path/buildroot-2013.02/output/toolchain/gcc-4.6.3/libgcc/../gcc/libgcc2.c: In function ‘__negdi2’: /some/path/buildroot-2013.02/output/toolchain/gcc-4.6.3/libgcc/../gcc/libgcc2.c:72:1: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault This patch is revision 191605 for GCC 4.7.x (). Applying it to 4.6.x seems to prevent this crash. Save this file as buildroot-2013.02/toolchain/gcc/4.6.3/999-ira-int.patch to have buildroot apply this patch to GCC 4.6.x source before trying to build it.
