Extremely odd.

About the only thing I can suggest is for you to do some analysis to
track this down -- I'm certainly not seeing this problem if I bootstrap
with gcc-2.7.2 or egcs-1.1.1 on a similar platform.

The first step is to compile the offending module with the "-save-temps"
option (in addition to all the other options).  That should create a .i
file which can be fed directly to the compiler.

Then you can do something like

gdb stage2/cc1
r -O2 unprotoize.i


Then debug it a little to find out why it core dumped.
