One vital item that you DO need to ensure in order to build GCC 3.2 on 2K or
XP is that you need to use FileUtils 4.1 patched or rm.exe from 4.0 or
rm.exe from core utils once you do the first build. Grab the FileUtils 4.1
patched source code from clio.

No. I can build GCC 3.2 on XP without a crash now that I have the updated
FileUtils. I have everything built with 2.04 and as such I would try
re-building all the rest of the required files with 2.04 and try again.

BTW here are my ansi.sys and autoexec.bat that I use:

ansi.sys:-
    NTCMDPROMPT

    #dosonly
    device=%systemroot%\system32\ansi.sys
    device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
    files=40
    dos=high,umb

autoexec.nt
    @echo off
    lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
    lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir
    lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
    SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3
