Nope, I was too fast. Two minutes after having sent this message:

stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/ -c  -DIN_GCC   -DUSE_GNULIBC_1 -O9 -funroll-all-loops -g -DUSE_GAS -DUSE_GLD -march=pentium -mcpu=pentium -malign-loops=0 -malign-jumps=0 -malign-functions=0 -fomit-frame-pointer -W -Wall  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H     -I. -I../../egcs-980401/gcc -I../../egcs-980401/gcc/config ../../egcs-980401/gcc/getopt.c
../../egcs-980401/gcc/getopt.c: In function `_getopt_initialize':
../../egcs-980401/gcc/getopt.c:386: warning: unused parameter `argc'
../../egcs-980401/gcc/getopt.c:387: warning: unused parameter `argv'
xgcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 6

So, it's most likely a problem with egcs.

Please accept my apology for any confusion.
