[CRASH]: gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)

Hokay, so this is a debian build, but i've also had someone verify it on
FreeBSD. And I didn't check if this is fixed in 2.latest, because I
don't really have time sorry :(

Basically the sourcecode at:

	http://www.scaramanga.co.uk/firestorm/firestorm-snapshot.tar.gz

causes cc1 to SIGSEGV.

Traced the problem to the use of __attribute__((const)) ?!

I tried a RHL8 build using the installed gcc-3.2 and did not get a segv. 
  So probably this has been fixed.

gcc-2.95 is too old, we don't support it anymore.  We are only 
supporting gcc-3.3.x and later now.

You gave us a link to an entire package, so I have no idea which file 
failed to compile.  Also, we prefer getting preprocessor output for the 
one file that failed rather than the whole package.  Also, we don't 
track bugs emailed to gcc-bugs, so it is better to file something into 
our bugzilla bug database.  See
	http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html
for more info about reporting bugs.
