Trouble compiling EGCS

[Andris]

Hi all,
I have problems with compiling the EGCS-1.1.2 package. I want to build a
cross
compiler for target sh-coff (for Hitachi SH series) running under Linux
2.2.5. Unfortunally I'm not very experienced with (GNU) C, yet :-(
I made following steps (current dir is ~/egcsbuild/ ):

~/egcs/configure sh-coff

Successfully creates the Makefile in ~/egcsbuild/
Then:

make cross

After a few minutes of compilation it bombs with message(s):

gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11
make[1]: *** [combine.o] Error 1
make[1]: leaving directory ~/egcsbuild/gcc
make: *** [cross] Error 2

Please can you guess what this means an what shall I do to compile it
succesfully?
I couldn't even build a native compiler ...  configure + make bootstrap ,
although that errors were other...something like 'unknown opcode .uaword' or
so, but I don't care, just if I could build the gcc for SH-1 target... :-(

Versions of software I'm using:
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux
GNU as 2.9.1
GNU ld 2.9.1
(BFD 2.9.1.0.23)
All was included in the Red Hat 6.0 release (as well as 'GNU make' vers.?).

Thanks for any suggestions
regards
Andris
