    | Well, I still suspect you are running out of space somewhere. The only
    | place I've seen errors of the nature of the above - i.e. when you are
    | receiving assembler source errors - is when you lack storage for the
    | temporary files.

    This is the filesystem usage:
    df -h
    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/hda2 1.9G 484M 1.4G 27% /
    /dev/hda5 1.9G 216M 1.6G 12% /usr
    /dev/hdb1 76G 63G 9.1G 88% /home
    /dev/hdc1 76G 61G 12G 85% /data
    /dev/hdg1 76G 51G 21G 72% /storage

    As you can see all of the filesystems have at least 1.4 GB free
    diskspace, so I doubt it is a matter of lack of space (more so, because
    the error allways occurs on exactly the same file).

    | I just noted in the gcc command that it's using the -pipe option, so
    | this means that it's not using temp files but pipes instead of creating
    | intermediate files. No doubt you have quite a bit of RAM - I do it with
    | 80 Meg real memory and 256 Meg swap - but if it's not running out of
    | space for the intermediate data, I have no idea what it could be.

    The machine has 1GB RAM installed about half is used and about 300MB of
    swap is also free.

    Anyone else? Any other clues I could follow?
