seg fault when generating basedll_string.o

I'm trying to build wxPython from source (wxPython-src-2.8.12.1). Any
ideas what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Rick

Here's my environment
# uname -a
Linux xxxxx 2.6.18-238.el5 #1 SMP Thu Jan 13 15:51:15 EST 2011 x86_64

I ran configure with the following:

--with-libtiff=builtin \
--with-zlib=builtin \
--enable-optimize \
--enable-rpath=/opt/wx/2.8/lib \

When I next run 'make', it fails with the following:

Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> for instructions.
Preprocessed source stored into /tmp/ccbMtXwO.out file, please attach
this to your bugreport.

I can provide the /tmp/ccbMtXwO.out if that would prove to be useful.

Line 339 of ../include/wx/string.h is:
  wxSTRING_REVERSE_ITERATOR(reverse_iterator, wxSTRING_CONST);

Could be wx options colliding, but looks like your compiler has a
problem, either an internal one or an obsolescence one (4.1.2 is very
old: Debian stable version is: 4.4.5-8)

Nothing. That just means that the compiler is broken. You can try getting a newer version, or you can try experimenting with different build options to see if you can work around the problem. The first thing I would try is to do a full clean and then configure without the --enable-optimize option and try building again.
