genattr: Internal compiler error in `read_rtx', at ../../src/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/rtl.c:888 - Processor M68040 - Operating system System V R3V8 Unix from Motorola

["Beere, Chris" <Chris dot Beere at cwcom dot co dot uk>]

Hello,
         We are trying to upgrade our GNU C compiler from 2.4.5 to 2.95.2 as
we could not get perl compiled and it was suggested our version is very old.
The operating system is an old version of System V Unix R3V8 from Motorola,
running on their delta platform which uses the M68040 processor.
 I have downloaded a number of utilities to make sure everything is as
up-to-date as possible. Utilities are:-

The configure command run in the build directory obj was:-

../src/*gcc-2.95.2/configure --host=delta-sysv3  \
--enable-cpp --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld \
--enable-languages=c++ >configure.log 2>&1 &

The make command run in the build directory obj was:-

make bootstrap >>make.log 2>&1 &

The first time it failed trying to assemble the floating point instructions.
I had my compiler configuration file set to use gas. It produced this
error:-
_ashrsi3

_ashlsi3

_divdf3

I changed my compiler configuration file to use as and it got to the
internal compiler error. The output just before this follows:-

I think I have supplied everything mentioned in the instruction at the
specified web address except:-

Preprocessed output of the source file that caused the compiler error

How do I generate that?
