>Description:
issuing the command 'gcc -ansi tc.c' results in the error:

/usr/include/rpc/rpc_msg.h:133: Internal error: Segmentation fault.

The source file tc.c is a one-liner: #include <rpc/rpc.h>
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a source file consisting of a single line:
#include <rpc/rpc.h>

Compile with 'gcc -ansi file.c'
>Fix:
Remove the -ansi flag when compiling RPC code.
