Good, I did the same thing, with the same result.  The only other
changes were the AVOID_CCMODE_COPIES bit, and the `return 0' for a
non-void function that was previously not returning a value.  So,
perhaps something is amiss with the AVOID_CCMODE_COPIES stuff.  But I
don't see it.  David (Edelsohn), did you try applying the Aug 25
patch, but also Richard Henderson's 9/9 patch?  That patch fixed one
other bug in this stuff, which you might be stepping on.  Of course,
that wouldn't explain why you can't bootstrap with what's in CVS today.
