Description:
gcc 4.3.0 from current core freezes when building ruby1.9 and gcc-devel from AUR.

I tried to build ruby1.9 (see http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14402), but gcc freezes on file parse.c. I hoped, that some bug in gcc was fixed in gcc-devel version and tried to build it from AUR with current gcc. But it froze too.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
[mholub@mumu Desktop]$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++,treelang --enable-threads=posix --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-multilib --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --enable-clocale=gnu --disable-libstdcxx-pch --with-tune=generic
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.3.0 (GCC)

- build ruby1.9 or gcc-devel from AUR.

It builds fine here, but the compilation of parse.c takes nearly 3 minutes on this box with 100% CPU usage on one core (E6750, 8GB memory, x86_64).
