Also check your processor - I had this on one system with a Cyrix 486sx/33 CPU where it turned out that the CPU was claiming to have some facility it didn't actually have, and that was tripping gcc up. I never did find out precicely what facility was involved, but replacing it with an AMD 486sx/33 CPU cured the problem, although replacing it with another (four) Cyris 486sx CPU's didn't help...
Best wishes from Riley.
