OK, I bootstrapped and ran make check on this patch; the results are at
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2002-09/msg00222.html
as compared to the unpatched source at
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2002-09/msg00210.html
There are two or three fewer failures with the patch than without,
but they may be due to reductions in compile times below limits.
