Possible 'as' bug for simple program

    Possible GCC (as) Bug

    GCC Version:

        Using builtin specs.
        gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

    System Type:

        FreeBSD v4.1-RELEASE on i386 (Pentium 200)

    Options:

        gcc -O -s conftest.c

    Source:

        #line 742 "configure"
        #include "confdefs.h"

        main(){return(0);}

    Notes:

        confdefs.h is just an empty file in the same directory as the source. This is the exact code stripped from the popular compilation setup "./configure" in many applications which is used to "test" whether gcc is working or not. I tried it myself and it doesn't work. I was trying to compile fetchmail. Here is the output:

        gcc: Internal compiler error: program as got fatal signal 11

        Since I have no idea what signal 11 is from the assembler, I am not sure what's going on. Thanks for the help.
