How is some scheme
which worked for someone with gcc at one time supposed to solve the problem of
bootstrapping egcs with every buggy and not-so-buggy compiler version SGI has
ever issued?
cc -32 has always compiled gcc correctly for all versions of Irix6 and all
versions of the Irix6 IDO. Since there is no ongoing development work on
the O32 compiler anymore, it is reasonable to expect that it will never break.
That is why it works.
The same is not true for cc -n32. We would have the problem you mention if
we tried to use cc -n32.
