Some guidance is available in the DJGPP FAQ list (v2/faq210b.zip from
the same place you get DJGPP), section 6.4.

It is not necessary for you to understand exactly what's the cause of
the problem.  The compiler says clearly where in the source did it
barf, so it should be a relatively simple matter to mail a program
that exhibits this behavior to the maintainers.

I'd advise to read the chapter about reporting bugs in the gcc on-line
manual (from the DOS prompt type "info gcc bugs" and read there)
before sending the bug report.  Posting a short program that exhibits
the problem, or a code fragment where the compiler dies, to this forum
is also a good idea.
