That was not my experience at all. HJ's patch here:-
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-08/msg01401.html
fixed 20020412-1.c for me. And this one:-
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-08/msg01170.html
fixes the test case in GNATS PR 7591.
I am compiling everything at -march=i686

Ok, cool, I would love to test it out. Is it ready for consumption?
