The problem can be replicated with below code, which runs fine on RHEL6/gcc 4.4 whereas it throws segmentation fault on RHEL9/gcc 11.3

<< coredump.c >>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main()
{
  printf("nIn mainn");
  printf("n %s: This statement fails on RH9n");
  exit(0);
}

I’ve built executable by running below commands –

cc -c coredump.c
cc -o coredump coredump.o

On RHEL6/gcc 4.4, it runs as below:

./coredump

In main

         : This statement fails on RH9

gcc --version

On RHEL9/gcc 11.3, it fails with segmentation fault.

./coredump

In main

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

echo $?

Is there a way to replicate behavior of RH6/gcc 4.4 on RH9/gcc 11.3

Thanks.
