You say that the bug is not reproducible, so that means that you can sometimes compile Python, or does the crash always happen when compiling some file (not necessarily the one mentioned above)? I think I've only ever seen a reproducible gcc crash once, and that had something to do with a C++ source file which I then split into two and was able to compile as these two separate parts. You might want to check the gcc version (gcc -v) and to look at bug fixes in any later versions. Generally, if you get an internal error in gcc, you aren't doing anything wrong yourself.
