1.3.90 - gcc sig 11 while compiling floppy.c

If I am not wrong, this was supposedly fixed in 1.3.90. However I get
gcc killed on sig 11 when building a new kernel from a running 1.3.90.
The exact message from gcc (2.7.2) is:
cpp: output pipe has been closed
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11

I am fairly sure it is not a hardware problem because:
- 1.3.90 is compiled correctly from a running 1.3.45 (I did this
twice to make sure);
- It always happens while compiling drivers/block/floppy.c;
- Manual compilation of floppy.c with the -pipe option removed
from gcc's command line solves the problem;

My setup is:
AMD DX4 (100MHz) PCI, 8 MB RAM
binutils-2.6.0.12
ld.so-1.7.14
libc-5.3.9
gcc-2.7.2
procps-0.99a

Cheers
Franco
