Try adding -v to the command line.  This should show you which program
(ccp, cc1, as) is crashing.

Check which version of gcc you are using - maybe it is an old one and
you can upgrade.  Also check which version of the sources you are
compiling.  If they are not the latest you may encounter (already
solved) problems.

Cheers
