Sure, it's gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org

It could very well be a bug in the compiler. However, you did not
mention what C compiler you were using to bootstrap gcc. It may be that
this compiler is not suitable for bootstrapping - if it is, then there
is a portability issue, which we'd like to fix.

If your primary interest is in using the compiler (instead of helping
to improve it), you may want to use the precompiled binaries from
sunfreeware.
