When compiling the X11R3 distribution,
in X/server/ddx/mfb
one gets the following core dump...

gcc -traditional -c  -finline-functions  -DPURDUE -Dinline=INLINE -DNOSTDHDRS -I. -I../../include -I../../.././X11 -DINCLUDE_ALLOCA_H  mfbscrinit.c
gcc: Program cc1 got fatal signal 11.

It appears to be the inline-functions optimizer that is causing the dump.
Removing this option clears up the problem.
