I was attempting to build gcc 4.7.2 using gcc 4.8.1.

to reproduce:
mkdir build-gcc
cd build-gcc
../gcc-4.7.2/configure --disable-nls --enable-languages=c
echo "MAKEINFO = :" >> Makefile # otherwise compile fails!
make all-gcc
make all-target-libgcc

The following error occurs:
../../../../originalsrc/gcc-4.7.2/libgcc/libgcc2.c: In function '__absvdi2':
../../../../originalsrc/gcc-4.7.2/libgcc/libgcc2.c:273:1: internal compiler
error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.
make[3]: *** [_absvdi2.o] Error 1


In compliance with gcc's dying wishes, I have submitted a bug report. Although
I'm sure you already have it, for rapid perusal, I have attached the source
file that caused the seg fault.

extra information:
$gcc --version: gcc (GCC) 4.8.1
system: archlinux amd64, using the gcc package "gcc-4.8.1-1"

If any further information is required, please ask.
