G++ reuses assembly labels

[Greg Noel <GregNoel at san dot rr dot com>]

This error occured while attempting to compile Mahogany (an open-source
mail program) on MkLinux (a PowerPC-based Linux system).  Mahogany uses
wxWindows (an open-source graphical library); this particular error is
at the intersection of the two.

The wxWindows standard setup requires that a lot of headers be includes;
I've been unable to cut this down into something smaller.  As a result,
the .ii file is almost 900K and even the compressed image is 127K, well
over your submission limit.

I tried to submit this via GNATS, but I don't think it worked.  I don't
have anyplace to store this where you can reach it; the best I can do is
offer to mail it to anyone who asks.

I have included the generated assembly code; that's small enough to be
sent and may be sufficient to identify where the error is occuring.

I noticed as I was preparing this message that the version provided by
MkLinux is a 2.95.3 prerelease that's six months old.  A valid suggestion
would be to downgrade to 2.95.2 or upgrade to a later prerelease.  I have
no idea if either is available from the MkLinux people.

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/ppc-redhat-linux/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 19991030 (prerelease)
