GCC 3.2 Segfaults...

[Chris Shepherd <chriss at whstuart dot com>]

Hi,
  I'm having a problem with GCC 3.2 segfaulting on me while I'm compiling 
various applications. I had intended on upgrading to glibc 2.3, which requires 
GCC 3.x (3.2 specifically, if I'm not mistaken), so I upgraded it. All the self-
tests passed, so I installed it after removing GCC 2.96 (the default on my 
RedHat 7.1 install). 

Now, as I am also in the midst of upgrading to KDE 3.0 from source, I needed to 
compile QT as well. So I grabbed the QT 3.0.5 packages from Trolltech's site, 
unpack it, configure it, everything goes fine until part way through the actual 
compile process.

I get the following error (paths shortened for brevity):

In file included from qt/include/qobject.h:45,
                 from qt/include/qwidget.h:43,
                 from widgets/qheader.h:42,
                 from widgets/qheader.cpp:38:
qt/include/qevent.h:528: 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.
make[2]: *** [.obj/release-shared-mt/qheader.o] Error 1

I checked with several people, and they have compiled the exact same source 
packages without incident on GCC 2.95. I even went as far as sending the 
packages to them to make sure it wasn't package related, and they had no 
problems.

Anyone have any ideas?

When I configured GCC 3.2, I did:
./configure
make bootstrap
make
make install
If I remember correctly.

I'm almost certain this is a user related issue, since I know other people MUST 
have compiled the same packages using GCC 3.x, otherwise there would be 
something in the package's FAQ about it. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?
