egcs is a volunteer effort, as such everyone has to prioritize what problems
they have the time to investigate. Over time, most complete bug reports do get
addressed.
Your bug report is incomplete (no testcase). See the FAQ for information on
what constitutes a complete testcase.

I would recommend you build a standalone testcase. We're not going to be able
to even start to look at this problem without a testcase we can compile and
examine.
