A byte of gcc got corrupted in the buffer cache. I don't know if this
was caused by a transient disk error or a software error.
While gcc (actually, cc1) was crashing I copied the binary to /tmp. I
flushed the buffer cache by running a program to use all of memory while
accessing other files. Then I compared the original to the copy:
% cmp -l /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.4.5/cc1 /tmp/cc1
721921 175 0
dmesg reports no errors.
