GNU-C compiler failure

[Daniele Alberto GALLIANO <galliano at athena dot polito dot it>]

Dear sirs,
    I tried Your latest release of Cygnus-Win32 (b18), and I encountered
a
problem.
	I followed carefully Your installation instructions, environment
settings included.
	When I tried to compile the most trivial C program, I get a crash of
the compiler, while an older version (I changed, because I needed
mmap()) is able to
compile on the same machine (960712).
	I include a few details in the following.
	Looking forward for Your kind reply,
							Daniele Alberto GALLIANO

  printf("Hello, world!!\n");
  exit(0);
}

This is what I got from the older compiler:
