Internal compiler error - signal 5 (athlon 1.2GHz)

[Michal Kolesar <kolisko@gw.debian.org>]

Hi all,

I have installed debian woody.
I have problems with compiling on my ATHLON 1.2GHz machine.
(motherboard - Abit KG7)

Every time I have got error:

1 root@gw:linux# make menuconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory 
`/data2/install/linux/tgz/kernel/linux/scripts/lxdialog'
gcc: Internal compiler error: program as got fatal signal 5

In this example i tried run make menuconfig in kernel 2.4.17

Second example of compilation error (ucspi-tcp):

make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/ucspi-tcp/ucspi-tcp-0.88'
( cat warn-auto.sh; \
echo 'main="$1"; shift'; \
echo exec "`head -1 conf-ld`" \
'-o "$main" "$main".o ${1+"$@"}' \
) > load
chmod 755 load
( cat warn-auto.sh; \
echo exec "`head -1 conf-cc`" '-c ${1+"$@"}' \
) > compile
chmod 755 compile
cat warn-auto.sh choose.sh \
| sed s}HOME}"`head -1 conf-home`"}g \
> choose
chmod 755 choose
./choose clr trypoll iopause.h1 iopause.h2 > iopause.h
./choose clr tryulong64 uint64.h1 uint64.h2 > uint64.h
./compile tcpserver.c
gcc: Internal compiler error: program as got fatal signal 5
make[1]: *** [tcpserver.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/ucspi-tcp/ucspi-tcp-0.88'

I have woody installed on lot of machines - without this problem,
but all those machines are Pentium II. I remember that i had
similar problem in past with RedHat X.X. In debian never had this problem.
This is my first problem with gcc in debian.

What can I do for correct working gcc compilation?

Please answer me directly on my email too - kolisko@penguin.cz

Thank You!
