egcs fails to compile (very) long identifier

[jan springer <jsd at igroup dot org>]

system: mips-sgi-irix6.2
egcs  : gcc version egcs-2.92.18 19981101 (gcc2 ss-980609 experimental)
options: none (besides -o)

this is a testprogram from

	http://www.flash.net/~dtribble/src/bigid2.cpp

(see also "Long identifiers, part 2" in news:comp.std.c++)

while mipspro 7.1 and 7.2.1 compile and link this test ok egcs
does not. it seems that the generated assembler code can't be
pushed through the assembler.

console output with options -v --save-temps:
