This is Windows 9X, right?

This is a known, but exceedingly rare problem with GCC on Windows:
when the GCC address space includes addresses near FFFFFFFFh, the
compiler crashes sometimes.

Try to open one or more DOS boxes on the same system, then type "make"
and see if that helps.

Another thing to try is to type the command line issued by Make (the
one you show above) manually from the DOS prompt.
