              Host: Fedora 17
            Target: x86_64-redhat-linux

This one-line file reproduces the problem:

int __attribute__ ((aligned (UNDEFINED_VALUE))) foo;

It results in "internal compiler error: Segmentation fault" as shown below:

% gcc -v -save-temps -c gcc-crash.c

I do not have access to a more recent gcc so I'm not sure whether this has been
