>Release:        GNU C version 2.95.2 19991024 (release) (i386-mingw32msvc) compiled by GNU C version 2.95.2 19991024 (release).
>Organization:
>Environment:
Windows 2000, using the minGW port of GCC from http://www.mingw.org
>Description:
Due to a header file error, I accidentally tried to compile 
C code that used the __attribute__((dllimport)) specification
on a function definition.  Instead of reporting an error,
though, the compiler failed with an "Internal compiler error".

>How-To-Repeat:
The error is easy to reproduce:  Just compile the following
code:  gcc foo.c

Here's foo.c:
-------------
__attribute__((dllimport)) int foo(void) {return 5;}
>Fix:
I fixed my problem by noticing the wrong attribute and doing 
it correctly!
