GCC 2.95.2 crashes reliably compiling a Linux kernel module

[Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech at suse dot cz>]

Hi!

While developing a driver for Linux I tried to compile it with the
default compiler on a default SuSE 6.4 setup (with gcc 2.95.2), I found
it crashes reliably. gcc 2.7.2.3, which I use normally works fine.
ct69000.i is attached (gzipped).

The output:

$ gcc -v --save-temps -O2 -Wall -m486 -fomit-frame-pointer  -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -c ct69000.c -o ct69000.o
