I read that the last word  ___unfortunate___ means that "to hell with the
users; 
We hold fast to our principles" 

So now we have two cases that gcc-4.3.x pretty irrelevant. The is that inane
transformation of subtraction in a division (the udivdi3 case) and now this
one.

Well, there exist three paths open to the user community:

1) The blas-atlas that just termed the whole gcc-3.x.y unusable for their
purposes.

2) The xfree86-xorg fork. It might be instructive to check the top 25
distribution as ranked by Distrowatch as to who still uses xfree86 in the table
of packages used by each distribution (just click on the name of the
distribution in the right hand collunm). They all use xorg; but check for
yourself. Personally I might be persuaded to in forming such a group.

3) Somebody with greater perspective might read the introduction to "rationale
for International Standard Programming Languages C" revison 5.10, April-2003
(google C99 std rationale) and draw appropriate conclusion.

BTW doesn't the the reduced case make into "confirmed"
