That's not very large. The instructions are simple: if you want anyone to
look at your bug, you need to provide a complete testcase. COMPLETE.
This means that it is a self-contained piece of code, ideally preprocessor
output. If it's 100k lines, no problem; just gzip it and attach it to
your bug report.
Please do NOT ask people to try to assemble a test case based on hints
that you dribble out one message at a time. The GCC developers are very
busy, and reverse-engineering your bug is not a good use of their time.
If your issue is that your original program is proprietary, then it is up
to you, not to anyone else, to produce an alternative test case that you
can share.
