gcc dying with ICE or SIGSEGV? Or what? Seriously lacking information here.

Are you using btrfs or cifs (the two filesystems that had

Any chance to bisect it (even if just partially - a couple of
bisection runs would already narrow it down quite a bit)?

Hmm. Adding Davem for that one, although I'd expect you to be able to
figure out some networking problem on your own and perhaps give a
better report?
