See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-06/msg01214.html which fixes
this ...

and http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-06/msg01619.html which fixes
this. Unfortunately, the two patches haven't been reviewed yet. Shouldn't
there be some mechanism to get patches which fix bootstrap failures
reviewed quickly, at least for major platforms?
