Description of problem:
My compiler crashes with "Internal error: Segmentation fault." when 
compiling any product.


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.It crashes everytime when I try to compile large (for example > 500Kb) 
amounts of source with 'make' program.
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  It crashes and gives error message. The following is 
copied&pasted from my Linux console during my 6th attempt to compile the 
kernel:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/root/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-
trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -

make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/linux/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_kernel] Error 2

This repeats when I try to compile samba, ssh etc. Every time the file 
which the error has occured in is changing. So the problem isn't in a 
specific file/source and probably doesn't depend on the source.

Expected Results:  Programs must compile properly but they don't.

Additional info:

I'm using RH 7.1 (Seawolf) with 32 MB RAM, CPU type 686, with gcc version 
2.96-81. The problem exists even with 2.96-85. All other binaries and libs 
are installed by default from RH 7.1 disks.
