Sorry, your message *just* crossed:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-05/msg00329.html

in which I declared failure. :-)

However, the release isn't really released until it's on the FTP sites,
of course, so there's still time to talk me into a different course of
action.

I'm concerned about either of the other approaches, in that we don't
fully understand why they work, so we can't really be confident we're
not just pushing the bug around.

Thanks,
