Attempt to make Python 2.7.14 on Ubuntu 16.04/GCC 5.4 throws the following error:

Objects/floatobject.c: In function ‘PyFloat_GetMax’:
Objects/floatobject.c:59:5: internal compiler error: Illegal instruction
return DBL_MAX;

Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-5/README.Bugs> for instructions.
Makefile:1359: recipe for target 'Objects/floatobject.o' failed
make: *** [Objects/floatobject.o] Error 1

"internal compiler error" is a bug in GCC, not in Python. Please follow instructions in the error message:

Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-5/README.Bugs> for instructions.

See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ and https://gcc.gnu.org/

It would help if you can simplify the code to reproduce the bug without Python.

I close the issue since it's a bug in GCC, not in Python.

Once you reported the bug to GCC, please add a link to your bug report here, please ;-)

Thanks for your response. I'll follow up with GCC.
