Sounds very likely a gcc bug, but you may have hit a brand-new binutils
bug.  Some more information would be handy.  At the very least fire up gdb
and let's see what you can dig out of the core files.  eg.
  gdb
  file /tec/build/3test/binutils/gas/as-new
  core path_to_corefile/core.as-new.17649
  info stack

Hopefully as-new was built with -g.
