Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to ask your advice about what may be a system or compiler
problem causing C compilation to abend with messages like

(cc1) internal compiler error
cc1 got signal 11.

The problem is easily replicated by cd /usr/src; make world, although any
reasonably lenghthy compilation (perl 5.003, tcl 7.3, tripwire, build
kernel) will probably fail.

System

FreeBSD   2.1.6
gcc       2.6.3 (gcc -v)
HW        Pentium 133/16MB/Quantum 1.2GB/Expert (Taiwan) mainboard
The compilation is being run from a console (not X)

The problem appears to be system dependent because make world on a
486/Micronics Gemini/8MB is slower(!) but does not abend. (The 486 has
FreeBSD 2.1.7.1/gcc 2.6.3)

Thank you,
