You're right.  This snapshot did not compile "out of the box" so i had
to patch it, and i did not do a 'make clean'.  I naively assumed that
the make process was "incremental".  I suppose it is very hard to write
an "incremental" Makefile for such a complex build process.  But i
wonder how you do your developpement with such a long build !

I rebuilt the snapshot in an empty directory.  Unfortunately it still
has the same bug.  However, the resulting 'cc1plus' programs are not
the same.

host=target=sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1

Here is exactly what i did :

% mkcd eb
% ~/poubelle/egcs-19980418/configure --prefix=/udd/bonnaud/poubelle/sparc-egcs --enable-shared
% make bootstrap
% make install

If you still miss some information, please ask.
