Re: GCC 3.3 Prelease broken on s390

Bummer.

No, that doesn't seem worth it.

That seems fine, if it will work.  The key criteria are:

(1) You can do it in such a way that it's obvious it doesn't affect
other platforms.

(2) You can do it quickly.

Engineering beauty is not a consideration at all, in this case.  

#ifdef __s390__ is fine, for example; if you can just do 

  #ifdef __s390__ 
  cfa += 196;
  #endif

that is absolutely fine by me.

If we can't meet those criteria, we may be forced to punt; s390 is not a
primary evaluation platform.  

Please see if you can get this fixed in the next twenty-four hours or
so.

Thanks,
