Someone reported that texi2roff coredumps on the gcc.texinfo, when compiled on the Sun. I had the same problem (Sun4, Os 4.0.1). texi2roff uses /bin/cc -O by default; changing this to /bin/cc -g (I didn't have gcc up yet) also eliminated the bug, thus letting you get the manual out. Given that you are quite clearly bound by performance in the rest of the pipeline (troff -ms, pscat [or other troff conversion package], and the act of printing!) I would suggest leaving -O off by default, given the number of flakey (non-GNU :-) optimizers out there. Not to discourage anyone from finding the problem, of course...
