I get the sampe problem, but only with certain levels of optimisation
switched on.

> gcc -O2 whetstone.c -o whetstone
> ./whetstone.exe

Loops: 1000, Iterations: 1, Duration: 2 sec.
C Converted Double Precision Whetstones: 50.0 MIPS
> gcc -O whetstone.c -o whetstone
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 6
> gcc -O1 whetstone.c -o whetstone
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 6


Hence, both -O and -O1 are causing the compiler to fall over, all other
levels including no optimisation and -O3 work fine.

I hope this helps.
