gcc: Internal error: Segmentation fault (program cc1)

- can you compile the code on another machine (same software versions). It might be hardware problem.
- please attach the preprocessed source code.

Same here when I try to compile Gutsy linux-source-2.6.22 Kernel. Issuing 'make oldconfig' or 'make menuconfig' leaves me with the beforementiones error.

My Machine is a ThinkPad T42 with a Pentium M (Dothan) 1.7GHz.

Email me if you got further questions.

BTW: Worked around it by changing the target of symlink /usr/bin/gcc from /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 to /usr/bin/gcc-4.2

Didn't compile enough since then to say whether it's a real 'solution'

apparently this is now fixed in gcc-4.2, which is the default gcc in hardy

On my ubuntu 8.04 x86_64 the following command segfaults

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.2.3/cc1

I am reporting it because /usr/bin/cpp-4.2 invokes it and reports following problem:
Internal error: Segmentation fault (program cc1)
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.

This does not happen on i386 binary of the same version.

please attach the preprocessed source and the options used to build

No options whatsoever. Just running the binary causes segfault. strace is not informative.

I don't know whether it is related, but the machine is a virtual server that runs under openvz virtualization technology.
