gcc complier cranky? help!

[Nasty Ace]

hi!  

i'm using the gcc compiler in redhat linux for objective-c.  

now the problem is that the compiler seems to be temperamental.  has
anyone else faced this problem before?  

when compiling a program, i will run into an error which halts the
compilation.  

but if i simply try again, after a random number of tries, it works.
and all this without me having to change the program at all.

and in running the executable (when it compiles) that is returned, the
program gets segmentation faults in different points of executions
which change from execution to execution.

this is very frustrating, and makes debugging a totally wild
experience.

anyone else faced this problem before?  or knows why this might be so?
