Note if your ICEs are random (non-repeatable on the same file within
the same environment and with the same command-line options), this may indicate
poor hardware. In this case, you may 1) try memtest86 or 2) try to compile
heavy C++ (with a lot of templates and huge class hierarchies) with your
g++ and watch for random SIGSEGVs :-)...
