egcs-1.1.2 g++ causing as: Error in tmpfile: with templates

[Sean Canny <Sean dot Canny at perth dot maptek dot com dot au>]

I am compiling a source file on SGI IRIX 6.3 with EGCS 1.1.2, gcc/g++
2.91.66.  MIPS R5000 CPU, with SGI IDO software installed.

So far everything has compiled nicely in a large software package,
except for one file.

I am compiling N32 ELF objects/libs so I no longer use gas, and use the
standard assembler.  I traced this though, and my compilation command is
calling the correct /usr/lib32/cmplrs/asm assembler.

I read through man pages, trying to find switches that could mess with
this, and get this to compile, but no luck


I am getting errors like

as: Error: /var/tmp/cczVzZ61.s, line 19084: invalid expression with

Does anyone know how I can get this routine to compile?
If this is a known bug in the version of egcs I am using, I would
appreciate finding out what version contains the fix, otherwise I would
like to avoid moving to gcc 2.95+.  I tried 2.95.1, and gave up after a
day of wasted time trying to compile it.  Egcs-1.1.2 compiled nicely
first time.

Is there a way I can adjust my system so the asm uses longer string
lengths, or switches with the assembler to get them to work.  Man pages
aren't any help.


	Thanks in Advance
