 two things: please provide g++ -v output for some individual compilation of
 CLN, so I can see exactly how gcc was configured.
 
 Besides, could you run one of the crashing programs (tests/tests or
 tests/exam, I suppose) under ladebug to get at least an idea where it
 crashes?  While older versions of ladebug simply bail out on gcc compiled
 code with stabs-in-ECOFF debugging information, recent versions recognize
 and ignore it, but should get you a stack trace.  If this leads nowhere,
 we might be able to get some further debugging done with a copy of gdb 5.0
 hacked up to somewhat work on 5.1.
