First of all, I'm also not being paid for reporting bugs, especially when
they are not critical, but point out shortcomings in the optimizer. I have
wasted a day trying to compile the compiler from the snapshot, just to
check wheter there's a similar bug, fixing about a dozen of errors in the
source package. No one has paid me for that too.

No, this part of the program is not proprietary, since I do not use GNU
tools for the programs of special value. The code I sent here was short
exactly because I wanted to save your time, providing the essence of
the problem. It contains everything needed to reproduce the bug.
Especially the fully compilable version I sent to James, but because of
a strange configuration of the mailing list probably only he has received
it.
Anyway, if nobody cares, then why should _I_ care?
