The fix is machine-dependent (the message you quoted referred to the 
poster's proprietary port), so likely not.  Please create a bugzilla 
entry and CC me.  You will need a preprocessed file but it is easy to 
create one: just add --save-temps to the command line and you'll find 
that GCC now generates a mpegvideo.i file with the preprocessed sources.

Yes, it is not optimal.  For front-end errors, gcc 4.5.0 will have 
better positions.  For this kind of back-end error it is difficult to 
find a position because anyway the error depends on all the 
optimizations done so far, and it is only remotely connected to the 
source code.
