(HELP) internal compiler (egcs c++) error derailing switch to linux&egcs

[Eric Freudenthal]

Mark,

Many thanks for your fast response to my query and link to the bug-report
web page.  Thanks to this, I now realize that the included source file (cpp
output) made the message too long for your mail relay.  As my previous note
mentioned, a copy has been put on our web site
( http://ext.rlab.cs.nyu.edu/~freudent/xfer/egcs-bug-report.txt ).

Does my bug report at contain adequate & appropriate information for folk to
debug it?

Our (the NYU team's) pockets are too shallow to purchase support at this
time, though I'm tempted to write it into future contracts.  The rest of the
folk on the project, who are far richer than we, will just avoid the
transition to linux should they come to believe that egcs isn't a serious
system.  This will have the unfortunate effect of forcing us back to
solaris.

The code we're building works just fine with gcc, which rarely gave us
trouble.  Of course, we all are hopefull that we'll shortly be able to use
the enhanced c++ language features available in egcs, should the system
build.

Regards, Eric
