Before reporting a problem, always clean and try again. An unclean build attempt can, in some cases, itself be the cause of a build failure.

Segmentation faults leave behind crash logs in Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports which may provide further insight.

Let's be clear that at this point, xsane is not involved. The build failure is in libgcc.

It's certainly possible that using libc++ instead of libstdc++ is contributing to the build failure; libc++ was, after all, not tested by most software developers on the OS you're using, and compiling a compiler is certainly a complicated proposition. However, at this point we don't know what's causing your build failure.
