Ok, now it's on the trunk. The same behaviour. As mentioned earlier very 
hard to debug.
Here a side note, don't know if related:

[titanium:reserved1/gcchfs/objdir] andreast% ./gcc/stage1/xgcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Configured with:
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4 20021216 (experimental)

Typing the above should usually give the specs/configured-with. In the 
gdb bt from earlier I see that the abort happens somewhere with do_spec1 
/ do_spec2.

Any ideas?

Thx,

Andreas
