Make sure that (1) your PATH mentions the v2.0 bin/ subdirectory, and (2)
you don't mix v1.x and v2.0 programs.  For starters, just remove the v1.x
bin/ subdirectory from your PATH (you *did* install v2.0 in a different
place, did you?).  v1.x programs cannot spawn v2.0 programs (the opposite
works), so if, say, v1.x Make is used to launch v2.0 gcc, it won't work. 

If all of the above doesn't help, post the command line that causes the GP
Fault, and also whether your CPU is 486DX or 486SX (i.e. without the FPU).
