You gave good information about the compiler and environment, but
nothing about the code. Unfortunately many, many things can cause this
kind of error. The large majority of them are bugs in the code.

Exceeding array dimensions, mismatched procedure arguments, referencing
undefined pointers,...the list is very long. I can't say much more
without seeing code.

Try turning on every debug option in the compiler to see if you can get
it to give you a more informatgive message.

The odds of the bug being "related to Linux" are low. That the code might
have run on some other hardware, operating system, and compiler wouldn't
much improve those odds; usually that means that the code did something
nonstandard that happened to work in one environment.
