This means you're either seeing a new bug in 3.2.3 PPC or your existing 3.2 has miscompiled stage1. For the former, you could try building 3.3.1 and see if that works. To try and work around the latter, you could try not optimising the first stage of the new bootstrap; I'm not sure what the best way to do this is (CFLAGS="-O0"? Or edit gcc/Makefile before you make bootstrap?) I think the chances that a stepwise upgrade would help are very slim. We may be able to give you some more pointers if we know where the internal compiler error came from; was it a CPU-generated signal or an internal abort()? If it's an internal abort, you could try reconfiguring '--enable-checking=misc,tree,rtl' but that would only help diagnose the problem and not fix it. Good luck, Rup.
