What version of gcc? Also, do you have ulimits set or any other memory  
constraints?

If you're compiling from svn, what revision are you at?

That's really specific... almost too specific, and from what I can see/ 
understand in the regexp, it looks balanced. I suspect you've got  
resource issues, but I'll hold judgement for more info.

One possibility is to install sans rdoc by doing 'sudo make install- 
nodoc'
