>>Open it in gdb and use debug_tree() on the expr that causes the error.

I usually have terrible luck with gdb on Windows.
I modified tree_class_check_failed in gcc/tree.c and added the
line debug_tree(node); before the call to internal_error.
I get this:
 <complex_type 41f180
...and then a segfault.
Something seems horribly wrong. I'm not sure whether a complex_type node
is really being built or whether something is just plain hosed. I'll keep digging
but would appreciate any tips or insight. I can't understand why the cross compiler
doesn't behave this way.
