This Bug stems from the setting of a new signal handler in 
GC_SysVGetDataStart() and the SIGSEGV is not getting caught.

../gcc_trunk/boehm-gc/os_dep.c :
...
    GC_setup_temporary_fault_handler();
    if (SETJMP(GC_jmp_buf) == 0) {
        /* Try writing to the address.  */
        *result = *result;                    /* SIGSEGV */
        GC_reset_fault_handler();
    } else {
...

A quick workaround is to delete or rename your 'gjar' before
gcc's configury detects it. The gcc scripts will workaround
the absence of 'gjar' during the build.
