segmentation fault


With apologies for being new:
In porting a hardware configuration from gcc-3.4.1 to gcc-4.2.0, I'm getting the
following error message:

In file included from /cygdrive/c/gcc-4.2.0/gcc/crtstuff.c:68:
/cygdrive/c/gcc-4.2.0/gcc/tsystem.h:53: internal compiler error: Segmentation
fault. 

Lines 52-54 of tsystem.h are:

#ifndef malloc
extern void *malloc (size_t);
#endif

If I remove these lines, all the other extern statements fail also. 
What precisely does Segmentation fault mean in this context? Is it referring to
the underlying Windows XP?
What sort of compiler, configuration or operating system parameters could be the
cause?
Where should I be looking?

Thanks,
Fred Cotton
