2.2.{9,10} strangeness

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I'm experiencing strange things with kernels 2.2.10 and 2.2.9 on alpha pc164.

When compiling kernel, gcc randomly gets signals SEGV and ILL. I'm pretty
sure that hardware is ok, and memory is with parity. There were no errors
before.

The most interesting thing is that the errors disappear if I remove -pipe
from arch/alpha/Makefile. And I have just recompiled egcs with no errors
(without -pipe too).

Any hints?
