Currently installed compiler:
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/alphaev6-dec-osf4.0f/2.95/specs
gcc version 2.95 19990728 (release)
>Description:
The compile of gcc hangs while compiling parse.c for some sort of java part of gcc.

The original make tries to build it with -O2 but that was left churning for 14 hours without returning.
Original:
gcc -c  -DIN_GCC     -g -O2 -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H    -I. -Ijava -I../../gcc -I../../gcc/java  -I../../gcc/config -I../../gcc/../include ../../gcc/java/parse.c -o java/parse.o

Modified:
gcc -c  -DIN_GCC     -g -O -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H    -I. -Ijava -I../../gcc -I../../gcc/java  -I../../gcc/config -I../../gcc/../include ../../gcc/java/parse.c -o java/parse.o

The modified one compiles in a reasonable amount of time (20 seconds or so).

This problem seems to appear with the stock configure/make without any special options. I was able to get around it by stopping the build, going into the gcc directory, running my modified command with -O instead of -O2 and then going back to my objdir and running make again.
