May I suggest one neat idea?
Instead of making the compiler just say " Internal compiler error:
program cc1 got fatal signal 4", why don't we incorporate a few more
sentences so that the output would look like the following? This
should save RMS and others much time in trying to educate the C
programmers who try to report bugs, and yet fail to follow the proper
procedures.
Suggested message:
xgcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 4
Please follow the instructions in the "Bugs" chapter of the GCC
manual and report the remaining problem by a proper bug report.
The format and contents of a proper bug report and the e-mail
address is found in the aforementioned manual chapter.
