armv4l ICE when building libobjc

["Rod m. Stewart" <stewart at nexus dot carleton dot ca>]

I've noticed this for the last few snap shot releases, and I'm fairly
certain it is not a problem with my current config (although I would not
rule it out, as I have yet to rebuild the entire system with pre
gcc-2.95).

The problem is while building pre release 2.95 19990623, and the last few
before this, on a NetWinder (an armv4l machine running Linux) I've been
getting:
	xgcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1obj got fatal signal 11
when it tries to build the libobjc stuff.  Removing the libobjc tree
allows every thing to compile, and produces a compiler which only fails a
few tests (slightly over 100, if I recall correctly) :)

I realize the Linux ARM stuff is not officially supported for gcc 2.95,
but I thought I'd mention this.  It is not all that important, as I
believe there are only about two applications I build which require the
libobjc stuff, and I can use an older version for now.  (Or first I'll
just try going back in the tree to the last time I know it built for
certain, around: Tue Apr 20 23:38:58 1999)

Well, thanks for any help.  Below is my system info and compile line.
Attached is the .mi file

System is a NetWinder (armv4l, elf 32) machine running Linux
Kernel 2.2.10-rmk2
Glibc 2.1.2 (990620 CVS)
GNU Bison version 1.27
binutils-2.9.1.0.23-1
gcc version gcc-2.95 19990623 (prerelease)
   with patch: ftp.netwinder.org/users/p/philb/gcc-2.95-diff-990623.gz
It is very close to a Red Hat 6.0 system... but on armv4l
