Thanks for trying and answering. Did you try it for this very platform? The
error does not happen on an hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20. I have not had a chance yet
to try another x86 and check for any surprises, but I will keep trying.

For this, I have been trying to bootstrap the same 2.95.2 source on another x86
machine, using an existing gcc 2.8.1, but have not succeeded yet (therefore the
delay). I will tell you when I know whether the reported bug appears there too.

(The bootstrap with `-g -O3' on i386-sequent-sysv4 with gcc-2.8.1 may have
failed due to bugs in gcc-2.8.1, which had been bootstrapped with `-g -O3' too.
The make compare [bootstrapping 2.95.2] was successful, but building the C++
libraries reported spurious errors like undefined member functions which are in
fact defined. I am trying to bootstrap with -O0, and if that fails too, using
the vendor's cc instead of the possibly broken gcc-2.8.1.)

BTW, did you see my previous bug report from the 10th of March about internal
compiler error in dwarf2out on the same platform?

Cheers,
