I found that recompiling the compiler using the instructions provided in the "How to build the toolchain from sources" of the 11.2 release notes resolved the Illegal instruction error. I assume when the pre-packaged GCC was built it was targeting a newer x86_64 architecture than your processor (as was the case in my case).
