gcc crash while building c++ libs

[Anup Kini]

I am using linaro-precise-ubuntu-desktop-20120626 on my ZYNQ ZC702 board which has an ARM Cortex-A9 dual core processor.

I am trying to compile Point Cloud Library and its dependent libraries like FLANN, VTK, EIGEN etc.. which are basically c++ libraries.
The compiler crashes with the following error msg and i am unable to figure out where the problem is

Also, let me know if i am missing something to avoid this error.

Can you please attach the *.ii file generated by executing the G++ command with -save-temps added.

Based on report above something like:

$ cd /home/linaro/flann/flann-1.8.3-src/build/src/cpp && /usr/bin/c++ -D_FLANN_VERSION=1.8.3 -DFLANN_STATIC -fopenmp -O2 -g -I/home/linaro/flann/flann-1.8.3-src/src/cpp -Wall -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-unused-function -fPIC -o MakeFiles/flann_s.dir/flann/flann.cpp.o -c /home/linaro/flann/flann-1.8.3-src/src/cpp/flann/flann.cpp -save-temps

The *.ii file will probably be in the /home/linaro/flann/flann-1.8.3-src/build/src/cpp directory.

I have attached he *.ii file.
