Illegal promotion of bool to int....

[sjhill at realitydiluted dot com]

Greetings.

I am running up against an interesting compiler bug whereby a bool is
being promoted to an int. I found a Bugzilla entry and a message on the
mailing list that I thought was similar to what I am seeing:

   http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15484
   http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-05/msg00752.html

Usage of the patch does not help for gcc-3.3 or 3.4 compilers on PPC.
I tried a fresh checkout of 4.1.0, but it failed to cross-build for
i686-linux hosted and powerpc-linux target. I am building my cross
toolchains with 'crosstool'. Here is the output from my compile:

powerpc-7450-linux-gnu-g++ -I../common -O2 -Wall -Wno-uninitialized  -mtune=7450 -maltivec -g -c ../modify/transform.cpp -o transform.o

../modify/analysis_local.h:56: error: candidate is: virtual void sub_analysis::push(line_buf&, bool)

Does anyone have some insight on this? Thanks.
