FWIW, RTH's patch in:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-06/msg01487.html

allows me to complete bootstrap (c,c++,java) as well as
run the libjava testsuite successfully. (Except for the
"Divide_1" testcase that has started failing recently
due to another as-yet-unknown-but-introduced-this-week
back-end bug:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22084
)

http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/reload seems to indicate something
similar.

Thanks,
