Error description
When compiling with the -qipa=list option with either the short or long suboption, the compiler is encountering an internal compiler error during the IPA link step: $ xlC_r test1.o test2.o -qipa=list=long Calling signal handler... 1586-494 (U) INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: Signal 11. $
Local fix
Avoid usage of -qipa=list option.
