Re: GCC 4.2.0 Status Report (2007-05-11)

I agree in principle -- much better the bugs we know than the ones we
don't.  But, IIUC, the patch we'd be reverting is from March, 2006,

that sense, I don't even feel confident that reverting the change is a
conservative move, likely to lead to less optimal code, but not wrong
code.  Are you?  (That's a serious question; not a rhetorical one.)

That's a fair question; I don't know anything about the patch or the bug it was intended to fix. Richard would know better.
