------- Comment #2 from ghazi at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-02-12 14:56 -------
Correction, on 4.0.3 & 4.0.4, I get one error:
FAIL: tmpdir-gcc.dg-struct-layout-1/t002 c_compat_x_tst.o-c_compat_y_tst.o link
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2006-03/msg00732.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2007-02/msg00185.html


As I noted here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-02/msg00211.html

exactly one of the three sparc32 errors arose between June 18 and June 22, 2006
on the 4.1 branch.  Here are the testsuite posts:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2006-06/msg01003.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2006-06/msg01167.html

So far only the fortran one regressed between those dates, the C and C++
sparc32 errors were already there on the 18th.  It doesn't seem to be any one
particular patch that causes the overall problem since they didn't all happen
at the same time.  But I'd like to understand why these are getting worse.
