I have seen this same problem (Internal Compiler Error) on
the ARM platform on a machine which didn't have much ram (64MB IIRC).
The compile eventually finished when it was executed
on a machine with more RAM (128MB IIRC).

I am guessing you are seeing this problem during the compilation
of lang/cmu_us_kal*/cmu_us_kal*_diphone.c (note that the 16bit version
of this file has 21MB!).

That depends on how you plan to use flite.  If you only
care about the executable `flite', you can probably
compile it on some other box and transfer the statically linked
executable.  If you want flite to be built with
dynamically loadable libraries, things might get a bit complicated,
since those .so files will have a dependency on the libc of the
system you were compiling on.

Yes.

flite itself is clean, the problem is just that you don't have enough
memory to do the transformation of 21MB C sources into machine
code.
