Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/3.3.4/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.3.4/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared
--enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-checking --with-gnu-ld
--verbose --target=i486-slackware-linux --host=i486-slackware-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.4

I am currently running slackware linux 10 and was attempting to 'gmake install'
postgresql-8.0.1 that I had downloaded and wanted to compile from source.  

During the gmake install I got this:
...
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wendif-labels
-fno-strict-aliasing -I../../../../src/include -D_GNU_SOURCE   -c -o xact.o xact.c
gcc: Internal error: Killed (program cc1)
Please submit a full bug report.

I went back to compile it by hand and add the flag you asked to be added
"-save-temps" but it compiled correctly.  I then went back and restarted 'gmake
install' and this time I got the same error except on the next file to be compiled:

gmake[4]: Entering directory
`/usr/local/src/postgresql-8.0.1/src/backend/access/transam'
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wendif-labels
-fno-strict-aliasing -I../../../../src/include -D_GNU_SOURCE   -c -o xlog.o xlog.c
gcc: Internal error: Killed (program cc1)
Please submit a full bug report.

This time I just ran 'gmake install' again and it successfully compiled the
file, so it only seemed to fail the first time it attempted to compile both of
those files.  I apologize if I shouldn't submit this because I couldn't obtain
the preprocessed file, but it asked so politely for me to submit a bug report
and I definitely wanted to do everything I could to help your efforts.  Thank
you very much for all of your time and hard work.

Not a gcc bug.  Tou have bad memory or hardware as it works the second time.

Now it has started failing consistently on one file and I was able to make a *.i
file.  The system I'm using is old, but has been rockstable and I have never had
any other problems compiling/installing/running software.  Hardware problems are
flaky however, so I know there is a good chance it is just my hardware.  I
wanted to submit the *.i file just in case you wanted to look at it but the file
is over 1MB and it says it is too large.  If you would still like me to try and
get it to you somehow please let me know.  I guess I am going to try and find a
binary distribution or compile an older version as I can't seem to compile this
version without these errors.  Thanks

Compress it with bzip2 and use "Create a New Attachment" at the URL below.
