Hi Art,
This morning I did a 'cvs update', rebuild, and installation of make, and am seeing a problem when trying to build the current GCC snapshot. The 'make' command bombs out at the point where the GCC build process prints out 'Bootstrapping the compiler'. Unfortunately I've deleted my build log with the command invoking 'make' printed out. :-(
Perhaps you could try repeating that step from within a gdb session to get the callstack of the crash.
My 'make' build passed the 'make check' step without any failures. I built the new 'make' binary with a GCC snapshot from two days ago, and that snapshot was built from a cvs 'make' from a couple of days ago as well, so the breakage in 'make' is recent.
You could do a do a binary search/build of the recent changes to track down which patch caused the problem (if you are certain it is not a bad gcc build..).
A small repeatable test case would help us find the problem if you cannot find the cause.
