gcc-snapshot 2000-03-16 : internal compiler error

[slukas at t-online dot de (Lukas)]

Dear,

the gcc-snapshot from 2000-03-16  (2.96 experimental) produces a
internal error.
I have downloaded the snapshot as rpm-packages from   
http://www.codesourcery.com/gcc-snapshots.html.

Command line is this : "gcc -Wall linkedlist1.cpp".
Error message is     : "Internal compiler error in 'expand-expr', at
expr.c:5917  Please submit a full bug report..."

The full compiler output, the source file and preprocessed sourcecode is
attached with this message.
I hope this is the right place for bug reports with a snapshot release
of gcc.
