An internal compiler error is _always_ a bug in the compiler. You do not really need to know this, but if that happens again you now know whom to blame ;)

If only the kernel would be written in GNU-C ;-> In any case, pgcc-1.1.2 is waay old, and, naturally, many bugs have been fixed in pgcc-2.95.2 (gove it a try ;).
I also do not really recommend compiling the kernel with pgcc. It makes your kernel bigger but not necessarily faster. The kernel is such a good case of software engineering that compiler code quality does not have a large effect on speed.
I'd guess upgrading compiler/binutils and removing the then bogus alignment switches would be more useful.
