No matter how wrong the input is, the compiler shouldn't loop
forever. It's a problem with gcc-2.95.3 (possibly only on alpha?)

It looks like you can use different (and sometimes newer) compilers.
But you can try to run what causes the infinite loop (most likely
cc1?) running gcc -v -c ... and then run the guilty invokation through
gdb and interrupt the execution when you're entering the infinite
loop. Then you'll see where (and maybe why) the problem is happening...
