Hi,

The small example below gives an incorrect result on 32 bit platforms. Both
tests should lead to the same result, but one is false, the other is true.

tested with the following compilers, all of them exhibiting the bug:

Compilation command, on 32 bits systems:

gcc -o testgcc testgcc.cpp -lstdc++

Compilation command, on 64 bits systems:

gcc -m32 -o testgcc testgcc.cpp -lstdc++

NOTE: on 64 bits systems, 64bit executable run as expected.

Regards,
Richard.
