From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: gcc crashes with the message internal error: Segmentation fault even with the absolute minimum program int main() {} This must be caused by some change in the environment as gcc has been working fine previously. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

See <URL:http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/> for instructions. Additional info: I suspect (and hope) that after a reboot, which I will do now, things will get back to normal. I realise that the cause of this problem could be extremely difficult to identify. I am submitting this bug report more as a means of documenting the occurrence of this situation.
That must be problem on your end, likely hardware or maybe kernel. We obviously could not ship a compiler which would not compile such trivial program.
