what perplexes me is that stdout is redirecting to the filedescriptor 5
which is not a standardized one.
Does that filedescriptor ( /dev/fd/5 ) exist?
This may be the reason why compiling without redirecting the output, like
you already tried, works fine.

Try passing the 1>&5 to the call of gcc too and check wether it segfaults  
again.

On a DS20e, gcc just throws a "Bad file descriptor" error without  
segfaulting.

HTH,

greetings
Nils
