I'm most willing to provide any information you require.

Three possible sources of discrepany:

 o As I mentioned in my original report, I am running FreeBSD 3.1.
   Which version did you run your tests on?

 o I am referring to the egcs main branch. Snapshots are made against
   the 2.95 release branch.

 o My bootstrapping compiler is egcs 1.1.2 residing in /sw/egcs-1.1/bin/
   which preceeds /usr/bin/ in the path.

Some additional data points: I experienced the problem some hours ago
with current CVS, then I undid the patch and bootstrap succeeded.

Just now I did another successfull bootstrap, did a `cvs update -PAd` and
bootstrap failed again.

I have kept both object trees and the output of the bootstraps.
Just let me know what you'd like me to do!
