You don't identify the platform or O/S, though I'd guess some Linux
distro on i386 or x86-64...
If you have gdb available, a backtrace might give a clue.
However, as this is a new major release of gcc I'm automatically going to
assume an optimisation issue. To test this I'd suggest doctoring the
makefile generated by configure to reduce the optimisation level - I'd
suggest trying -O instead of -O3. If that works, try -O2 or -Os.
If -O2 or -Os works, I'd be taking the matter up with the gcc team.
