By the criteria we use for GNATS, it is a regression, because
gcc 2.95.3 successfully compiles it. However, the only strict requirement
for gcc 3.2.2 is that it be an improvement over gcc 3.2.1, so for Gaby's
purposes in getting the release out, it isn't a reason to hold the
release.
However, since 3.3 doesn't have it, it would be nice if someone could
dig out Janis's regression finder and determine when the failure went
away. If this can be done quickly, perhaps we could isolate a patch that
Gaby could put into 3.2.2.
Sorry, I'm not going to have the cycles to do that in the next couple of
days.
