Hi,

yes this is showing a known bug in gm2. At present we get around this by 
disabling
the garbage collection. This can be done by patching the file 
../../gcc-3.2+gm2-20030124/gcc/ggc-page.c
so that the function ggc_collect returns immediately ie:

void
ggc_collect ()
{
  return;

this line was commented out (my mistake). I've now rebuilt the tar-ball with
this patch applied.

you should be able to make clean and make gm2 again. This time it should
build gm2 successfully!

Good luck and thanks for the report,
