I have tried this on sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1 with Sun as: SC4.2 dev 30 Nov 1995
and while I could reproduce your problem with egcs-1.0.3a, a more current
snapshot egcs-2.91.40 19980613 compiles your example without a hitch.

That is, I believe that the problem has been fixed! :-)

PS: Wolfgang, also our similiar problem seems to have been fixed.
