Re: cranky compiler : error messages.

[Theodore C. Belding]

"Internal compiler error" generally means "bug in the compiler".  In this 
case though, it sounds like ld (the linker) is crashing.  You shouldn't 
bother trying to run the program until you get this problem fixed.  gdb 
isn't going to help you here, either.  I'd ifirst try reinstalling gcc from 
scratch; if that doesn't work, try reinstalling your complete Linux setup
or whatever you're using.  Basically, something (not swarm) isn't set up 
right.  Hope that helps. -Ted
