>Description:
The testsuite file g++.dg/compat/eh/bitfield7_y.C causes GCC
to ICE for powerpc, arm, and sparc targets (as seen by test
results in the gcc-testresults archive).  These occur with
GCC 3.3 20021018 (experimental).  I don't know if the ICE
occurs with earlier versions of GCC; perhaps someone with
ready access to earlier versions for those targets can try
the test case with them.

The ICE is in simplify_gen_subreg, at simplify-rtx.c:2681.

>How-To-Repeat:
Compile gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/compat/eh/bitfield7_y.C with
target of powerpc, sparc, or arm.
