Hey folks.  Was hoping someone might be able to figure this one out..

I downloaded the latest and "greatest" kernel source rpm from Redhat..  I
ran the make menuconfig, make dep, and make bzImage..

It starts compiling like normal and then crashes with this error:
---
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-18.7.x/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-commo
n -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686
-malign-functions=4    -nostdinc -I /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redh
at-linux/2.96/include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=floppy  -c -o floppy.o floppy.c
floppy.c: In function `floppy_revalidate':
floppy.c:3898: Internal error: Segmentation fault.

make[3]: *** [floppy.o] Error 2

Anyone else seen this error?  Should I go digging in floppy.c under the
floppy_revalidate function to see what it's trying to call?  Or is this a
symptom of a larger problem?

Should I reinstall GCC?

Thanks in advance,
