making binutils-2.13 results in an "internal compiler error"

[Pogoda Don L Contr AFRL/VACC]

I am new to this whole GNU cross-compiler gig, so I apologize if you are not 
the right folks to be directing this to (and if you are not the right folks, 
hopefully you can point me in the right direction!). 

Unfortunately, it is not clear if the problem is in binutils-2.13 or the local 
compiler.  The error message says to report the problem as a bug report to 
bugzilla.redhat.com.  However, that site is incredibly buggy (get run time 
errors on about every page) and have not been able to submit the bug there. 

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!!

Don
