I was having the same problems, and the problem is caused by inlining. 
The function do_compile() gets inlined into toplev_main(), at least in 
an optimized build.

Here's what I did to get inlining switched-off and to produce a 
debug-capable cc1 compiler (there might be other and possibly better 
ways :-)):

configure --disable-bootstrap [...] CFLAGS="-O0 -g -fno-inline 
-fno-inline-functions -finline-limit=0"

I think the last two inline options aren't really needed but they 
survived from previous problems. -fno-inline should be sufficient, but I 
haven't yet tested -fno-inline only.
