Has anyone ever encountered the following?


gcc -O -pipe   -I/usr/X11/include -I. -Dunix -DUSE_PROTOTYPES=1 -c tif_dirread.c -o tif_dirread.o
gcc: Internal compiler error: program as got fatal signal 11
make[1]: *** [tif_dirread.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/user/src/x/xv-3.00a/tiff'
make: *** [all] Error 2
[8:43pm] /user/src/x/xv-3.00a {13} tif_dirread.c: In function `TIFFFetchRefBlackWhite':
tif_dirread.c:1051: output pipe has been closed


This was from compiling XV 3.00a but it hasn't been limited to just
that source.  The kernel, Xaw, xview 3.2, tcsh 6.05, etc...
The "gcc: Internal compiler error: program as got fatal signal" has varied
too from 11 to 127.  I get the same error when compiling the latest gcc
(2.5.8, 2.6.1, 2.6.2) as well.

Funny thing is, I guess, is that I do another "make" after I get the error
it picks up where it left off and continues like nothing bad has happenned.
It doesn't always happen either.  I can take the same kernel config, for
example, compile it once just fine then the next time it'll give something
similair to the above.

System setup:
486/33DLC (Cryix) VLB, AMI BIOS (1991), 20MB RAM, AIC-6360 SCSI
controller VLB, Diamond SpeedStar PRO VLB 1MB

Any insights?
