I'm sorry, I don't have time to do this sort of remote debugging.  You
are going to have to track down the proximate cause yourself.  If you
can identify the code that is causing the segmentation violation, we
may be able to offer some advice.  For that, I recommend using the
mailing list gcc@gcc.gnu.org rather than gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org.  But
nobody will be able to help with a vague error report like a
segmentation fault somewhere in the code.

I want to caution you that porting gcc to a new target is a difficult
task for experienced programmers.  Porting to a system with
non-standard addressing, as you are doing, is even more difficult.
You are going to run into many problems like this.  While people on
the mailing list can offer suggestions, ultimately you must be
prepared to deal with them yourself.  I'll also note that there are
several companies who would be happy to sell you their gcc porting
services.  They are experts, but of course they are also expensive.
