[SOLVED] dkms build issue after normal update: gcc seg faults

Hi Folks,

For the first time in nearly 6 years I'm staring down an issue that I can't seem to resolve. I recently updated about a week ago and found myself with dkms builds failing, exiting with status 10:

checking the make.log, I see this:

I attempted to fix this by booting the most recent arch live image, deleting all non-core packages and starting fresh, but that did not fix dkms. I am currently running the vanilla kernel with nvidia-open, which works, but I usually run zen (and lts, as needed), with zfs supported compiled in from the archzfs repository for a drive I share between FreeBSD and Arch. Any thoughts or ideas? I'd like to try to resolve this without a full reinstall. Maybe some config file somewhere is crufty, but I don't see any unaddressed .pacnew's.

edit: I should mention this happens for every dkms module I try, which makes me think it's a gcc issue. I noticed the glibc issue with Discord (which I am also encountering) on the front page. Not sure if it's related.

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] dkms build issue after normal update: gcc seg faults

Does the issue happen reproducibly?

Yes this is reproduceable. I have the same issue when installing linux-headers

Gave it a go this morning after running pacman -Syu and it happened again for me with nvidia-open-dkms. I don't have any other systems to try this on.

Re: [SOLVED] dkms build issue after normal update: gcc seg faults

Welp, yep that was it.

I had just updated my bios and I guess I accidentally enabled game boost (MSI X570 Gamin Plus motherboard). Disabled that and now the dkms modules are compiling fine. THANK YOU FOR THE HINT!
