gcc version 2.95.2 
compiling gcc-3.2
>Description:
gcc2.95 has a problem with java/parse.c
compiling with option -O2 causes cc1 to loop.
removing -O2 solved the problem (for me)
/* original */
gcc -c -DIN_GCC    -g -O2 -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing
-prototypes   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H    -I. -Ijava -I. -I./java -I./config -I./../inclu
de java/parse.c -o java/parse.o
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
remove the -O2 for parse.o in the makefile
maybe somebody can patch 2.95 because the version is often
used.

 you should not be building gcc with just `make'.
 
 You should be building gcc with `make bootstrap'.
 
 
 Thanks,
 Andrew Pinski
 
 PS close this bug report because it is not using the recommended 
 way of building gcc.
