Can't you show gdb backtrace?

Some additional information. Version 2.2.3 didn't compiled with the same error message. But Ruby from the stable snapshot (https://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/stable-snapshot.tar.gz) compiled successfully:

This is always reproducible on centos 5.x latest, running XEN kernel domU. No issues on regular centos 5.x (KVM or not).

Exact same stack trace.

Anybody care to fix this?

The fix in r51626 for Bug #11457 applied directly to my working copy of 2.2.3 fixed the segfault on the CentOS 5 node I'd seen the error on in my environment.

UPDATE: And fixes the segfault when applied directly to a checkout of 2.1.7.

UPDATE2: After reviewing the history and a few test compiles of earlier versions, problem appeared with the solution to #11030. 2.1.7 and 2.2.3 are the affected release versions.

Thanks for your reply. This solution is works for me and I'm able to compile ruby 2.1.7 on the my CentOS 5 server.

• Status changed from Open to Rejected

CentOS 5 and Ruby 2.1 are EOL.
