I'm using EPICS R3.13.1 on Sun Solaris 2.6 w/gcc 2.8.1, and I had that same
"internal compiler error" message in exactly the same place.  I got around
it by manually compiling gdd.cc without optimization (that long string of
arguments, minus the -O flag) and moving the resultant gdd.o file to my
O.solaris subdirectory.  I haven't actually tried using gdd on the Sun, so I
don't know if that's a completely valid work-around, but I was able to
finish the build.

If anyone's curious, I did a little tinkering with the gdd code while I was
trying to find the problem, and it seems to result from gdd::init (and
gdd::setDimension) casting a pointer to gddBounds1D (or 2D, 3D) to a pointer
to gddBounds.  At least commenting out those lines kept the error from
occuring.
