gcc comes out with Aborted

gcc comes out with Aborted

[SVR Anand]

Hi,
 
I am unable to compile any program with gcc on my Linux machine. gcc comes out
with "Aborted" message. 
 
Is there a way out ? Please help me.

This list is for discussing gcc development, not for bug reports like 
this.  A better place would be submitting this into bugzilla as per
	http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html
However, there may not be much we can do about this, as this may not be 
a gcc problem.

Looks like maybe there is something wrong with your OS, or maybe your 
hardware.  Red Hat wouldn't make an OS release with that broken of a 
compiler in it.  Maybe try reinstalling the OS from scratch to make sure 
you have a good gcc and libc?  Maybe try a different (newer) OS release? 
  Is your OS release know to work on other machines?  Maybe you have bad 
install CDs?
