>Description:
Trying to compile the following: 
--- cut ---
# 1 "dt.error.c"
struct __container_t {
        int value;
        char name[];
};
typedef struct __container_t container_t;

struct __atrib_t {
        int value;
        int used, len;
        char *name;
        container_t options[];
};
typedef struct __atrib_t atrib_t;

atrib_t classifier = {0, 0, 2, "WillWait", {{0, "No"}, {1, "Yes"}}};

int main(){
}
--- cut ---

using: gcc -Wall -o dt.error dt.error.c -save-temps
(where dt.error.c is the source code that produces the error) 
gives the following: 
--- cut ---
dt.error.c:15: Internal error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html> for instructions.

>How-To-Repeat:
compile the code smippet with: gcc -Wall -o dt.error dt.error.c -save-temps
