An "internal compiler error" (ICE for short) can also be a compiler bug
if it happens in the same place consistently. I recall other "ICE"
Subject lines, but ignored the corresponding posts; the list archives
may help you.

If you need to be sure what it is, rsync your source code and compiler
to a different computer with similar OS and hardware and try there. If
it fails in the same place, it's VERY unlikely to be the RAM.

If you've been running cvsup -s for a while, trying to run it once
without -s might be useful in case some alteration went unnoticed by
cvsup (haven't seen that so far, and it's an old recommendation, not
sure if it still holds).
