Because it was removed in 3.3 and is documented in the 3.3 release notes.  
The second part of this bug report - the bug actually being reported -
uses -traditional with -E only (traditional preprocessing, which *is*
still supported, albeit that the glibc headers certainly don't support it)  
so the ICE is a bug (but one which may need more than just a .i file to
diagnose, being possibly a preprocessor bug).
