I've tried it with gcc 2.8.0 and 2.8.1.  Both worked fine.  Using the
mini-stl provided in the distribution might be the solution.  Be sure to
have a lot of free memory (because of C++ templates, I think).  Does
anyone know the reason of the "internal error".  It happend to me if I
don't use mini-stl.  

However, if you are using 2.8.x, you might have some errors during Gnome
panel compilation (add -fexceptions in the Makefile).
