That's a weirdo one: EBP and ESP are screwed up, and SS is loaded with a 
segment that isn't ours.  To say nothing of EIP, which is in the null 
page.

symify would not help even if gcc was unstripped: the EIP is outside any 
valid code and SS:SP aren't pointing to our stack, so you have no hope of 
getting a traceback.

I'd suggest to build the same version of GCC with stock v2.03, and see if 
that binary crashes or not.

Is it possible that the way you installed this GCC version somehow mixes 
up files from different GCC distributions?  Or did you completely 
replaced your compiler with this version?
