If such a trivial testcase doesn't compile, then it can be either a hardware issue (bad RAM, overclocked CPU, ...) or you have corrupted binary (you can e.g. run rpm -V gcc cpp to verify the latter). It compiles with -g just fine here (and of course it couldn't make it through the extensive testing that is done during each build).
Yes, it's true :(. The problem was in cpp, so: # rpm -e --nodeps cpp # yum install cpp Tnx a lot! :)
