I do not know for sure about Mac OS X, but in Linux/*BSD environment
unpredictable gcc crashes with internal compiler error/segfault
almost for sure mean [slightly] faulty memory (RAM) in a computer. I
saw this many times.
I can confirm that we had our Mac OS X build system (PowerMac Dual G5)
randomly crash while compiling and we traced it down to bad 3rd party
RAM in that particular case. As a result we switched the build system
over to use ECC RAM and so far no reoccurrence of strange gcc crashes
on that system.
