Summary: Temporary objects gets garbage collected in cc1

Workaround
After rebasing cegcc/mingw32ce on gcc 4.6.2, I found cc1 crashing.
locate_fn_flags() creates an object "ob" that is not yet inserted into the root
tree, and lookup_fnfields() eventually causes a garbage collection. This may
kill the page where "ob" lives in, causing a segmentation fault.
I found a kludge to work around it: I increase function_depth to inhibit
garbage collection. See attached patch.
Another idea would be to call lookup_fnfields() before allocating "ob", but
since I don't know the code base, I don't know if this is safe.
Also note that this may or may not be caused / triggered by cegcc specific
patches. Just in case you want to review these:
