With parrot 4.6.0 the failure now looks like this:

> ./parrot-nqp --target=pir --output=compilers/opsc/gen/Ops/Compiler/Actions.pir compilers/opsc/src/Ops/Compiler/Actions.pm
> make[1]: *** [compilers/opsc/gen/Ops/Compiler/Actions.pir] Segmentation fault

> make: *** [build-arch-stamp] Error 2

Which happens just a couple of commands before the original failure.

Also, this failure happens quite randomly when using parrot-nqp. I tried to
build parrot 2 times on the Debian's ia64 porterbox, the first time segfaulted
with:

> ./parrot-nqp --target=pir --output=compilers/opsc/gen/Ops/Compiler/Grammar.pir compilers/opsc/src/Ops/Compiler/Grammar.pm
> make[1]: *** [compilers/opsc/gen/Ops/Compiler/Grammar.pir] Segmentation fault
> make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ghedo/parrot-4.6.0'
> make: *** [build-arch-stamp] Error 2

the second time with:

> ./parrot-nqp --target=pir runtime/parrot/library/YAML/Tiny.pm > runtime/parrot/library/YAML/Tiny.pir
> Segmentation fault
> make[1]: *** [runtime/parrot/library/YAML/Tiny.pir] Error 139
> make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ghedo/parrot-4.6.0'
> make: *** [build-arch-stamp] Error 2

I still can't reproduce the original failure.

Cheers
