binutils cross-compiler

I've re-installed IRIX gcc from Ariel's freeware page and I'm trying to compile binutils with patch (2.8.1-1 24 Nov) according to Ralf's Howto instructions. Each time it quits at this point:

        gcc -O2 -c -D_GNU_SOURCE     -I. -I. -I./../include  -g ihex.c
        if [ -n "" ]; then \
          gcc -O2 -c  -D_GNU_SOURCE     -I. -I. -I./../include  -g stabs.c -o pic/stabs.o; \
        else true; fi
        gcc -O2 -c -D_GNU_SOURCE     -I. -I. -I./../include  -g stabs.c

gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 10 *** Error code 1 (bu21)
*** Error code 1 (bu21)

Is this enough information for anyone to determine if I'm missing anything?

Thanks,

Mike
