Excellent!  Last detail: can you find the minimal command
that reproduces the crash using the preprocessed source?
e.g. start by verifying that
    sh4-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -c -O -m4 -ml -fPIC strtok.i
causes the crash.  Then try removing options one by one
until all you have are the set that are required to cause
the crash.  Then append a comment to the bug report with
that minimal command.

This is standard bug report practice for those who want
fast action from the maintainers.

Thanks!
