 then that's just... plain odd.  and should be reported to the ubuntu
team responsible for gcc.  segfaults like that are pretty serious.

 ok - then when you've done that add these to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/emdebian/toolchains squeeze main
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/emdebian/toolchains testing main

and from there you can do "apt-get install gcc-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabihf
gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi " which will give you a) the 4.4 compiler
that i know will successfully compile the allwinner-crap and b) the
4.7 compiler that will compile the rest.

 well.. if a distro doesn't get their act together by providing a
stable compiler there's not a lot you can do about that except a)
report it upstream b) install your own known-working compiler.

 yes, because they went to the trouble of putting that entirely
together themselves, *including* fixing the bloody mess that allwinner
made of the power-standby code, integrating it properly.

 you _could_ compile up linux-sunxi 3.4 and try that instead.
