Description of problem:
while running :

gcc -O -DRUSAGE -DHAVE_uint=1 -DHAVE_int64_t=1 -DHAVE_DRAND48   -o ../bin/x86_64-linux-gnu/lat_ops lat_ops.c ../bin/x86_64-linux-gnu/lmbench.a -lm

the cc1 (/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.0.0/cc1 -quiet -DRUSAGE -DHAVE_uint=1 -DHAVE_int64_t=1 -DHAVE_DRAND48 lat_ops.c -quiet -dumpbase lat_ops.c -mtune=k8 -auxbase lat_ops -O -o /tmp/ccblf70L.s) process eats 100% CPU but does nothing, leaving the generated assembler file incomplete as shown by the last 2 lines :

  xorl    %edx, %ecx
  orl     %ecx, %ed

while trying to force a core dump through a segfault the culprit seems to be :

lat_ops.c: In function 'do_integer_add':
lat_ops.c:97: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault

which corresponds to the following partially unrolled loop (including associated defines):

static volatile uint64  use_result_dummy;

void
use_int(int result) { use_result_dummy += result; }

struct _state {
        int     N;
        int     M;
        int     K;
        double* data;
};

#define TEN(a) a a a a a a a a a a
#define HUNDRED(a) TEN(TEN(a))

void
do_integer_add(iter_t iterations, void* cookie)
{
        struct _state *pState = (struct _state*)cookie;
        register int a = pState->N + 57;
        register int b = pState->N + 31;
                                                                                                                                                                            
        while (iterations-- > 0) {
                HUNDRED(a += b; b -= a;)
        }
        use_int(a+b);
}


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcc-4.0.0-0.38

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. wget http://cogent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/lmbench/lmbench-3.0-a4.tgz && tar -xvzf lmbench-3.0-a4.tgz
2. cd lmbench-3.0-a4 && make
3.
  

Actual Results:  cc1 hang

Expected Results:  compile should have finished or at least shown an error saying why it couldn't
