I 100% agree; in fact, this *is* a regression and a fix is most welcome.
I expect Daniel's change to be sufficient to moderate the damage; I
expect that we will now see somewhat worse compile-times and possibly
somewhat worse execution-times, relative to GCC 2.95.x, instead of
horrendously worse compile-times. So, I hope that this will make
even 3.0.1 more useful.
