Description Jerry James 2020-09-01 03:11:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
Macaulay2 began failing to build on i386 around the beginning of 2020, about the time GCC 10 was introduced.  Recently the build began failing on 32-bit ARM as well, with very similar symptoms.  It looks like heap corruption, but I have not yet been able to track down the source of the corruption.  There is a garbage collector at work, which makes debugging difficult.

I am excluding the 32-bit architectures from the build until the cause of the corruption can be determined.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Macaulay2-1.16-1.fc34

How reproducible:
Often

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to build Macaulay2 on i386 or arm
2.
3.

Actual results:
The build usually fails with a segfault.

Expected results:
Successful build.
