gcc accumulates instead of overlaying frame variables

[Michael LeBlanc <leblanc at skycomputers dot com>]

I am submitting this as instructed, as a last resort, because

(1) I can't figure out how to attach files in the bugzilla page; and
(2) I can't find a gccbug script in a 3.3 source package.

So here are the things from

	gcc -v -save-temps x.c f.c

$ tar tvf gnu.tar
drwxrwxr-x leblanc/leblanc   0 2004-05-12 12:50:24 ./
-rw-rw-r-- leblanc/leblanc 152 2004-05-12 12:12:33 ./x.c

-rw-rw-r-- leblanc/leblanc 207 2004-05-12 12:49:20 ./x.i

See the source down below.  SUN and Metaware believe, correctly, that 
the
two blocks overlay each other in the final stack frame.  GCC adds them
together.  It looks like this mistake has been around for quite a while.
