GCC reproducible crash

[Justin the Almighty]

Cygwin GCC crashes reproducibly for me whenever I try to use it. I'm
using Win98SE and the gcc-2.95.3-5 package. It occurs with both the
cygwin-1.3.3-2 release DLL and the cygwin1-20011016 snapshot DLL.

I can reproduce it with any file, including a hello.c file with the
following contents:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
  printf ("Hello World!\n");
}

Typing "gcc -c -g -O2 -o hello.o hello.c" gives the following output:

Assembler messages:
Error: Can't open /cygdrive/d/TMP/ccnvIUuP.s for reading.
/cygdrive/d/TMP/ccnvIUuP.s: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

(The file is indeed present (attributes -rw-r--r-- in Cygwin, archive
in Windows) and can be opened with Notepad or Cygwin head)

I get a Windows crash dialog with the following text:

GCC caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 0167:bff7d762.

Judging by the error message, I think the problem has something to do
with the fact that my temporary folder is on D:\TMP (as specified by
the TEMP environment variable) instead of the usual location of
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP. This is a serious issue as gcc is rendered completely
unusable for me.
