I ran into a similar problem while compiling Persistence of Vision (PoV), the raytracer developed on the dkbtrace code base. It was dying while compiling parse.c (the fourth file, so it might be the same problem). I eventually tracked it down to a problem with a re_#define'd HUGE_VAL (I had was including a replacement for math.h without removing the original). So if you are getting a symbol redefinition error, try tracking that down. (I got it to the point where that was the only line in the only function in the file, and cc1 kept crashing). I hope this helps. I am using the version of gcc that came in the 0.1 release. I have not tried it on newer versions of gcc or different architectures. Lewis Bruck lbruck@pix.com
