Problem with 4.7.x on MacOSX 10.5 PPC

Well, if the wiki binaries work fine, then it could as well be a
problem with the HPC build, and you should report it to the people who
provide it.

Not necessarily. But probably not a lot of the gfortran developers
have access to a PowerMac, so it's not easy to reproduce your problem.

In any case: If you fell brave enough to build gcc from source on your
machine, it would be interesting to see if you get the same problem
with more recent versions (4.7 or trunk), meaning that it would be
regression relative to 4.6, or if it's really a specific problem with
the HPC build.
