RHL 7.2 is very old.  It is unlikely that we can help you here.

If the bug isn't reproducible, then it usually isn't a gcc problem.

There are some rare cases where a bug is only reproducible with the 
right environment.  Different sized environments can cause changes in 
how stack frames get allocated, which can result in different behavior 
in the presence of stray pointer reads/writes.  If it fails inside make, 
but not from the command line, it could be such a case.
