Thanks for your bug report. You really need to get in touch with
WindRiver about this; we have no means of knowing what particular
sources they've used to build gcc, or how they've modified these
sources.

Unfortunately, 'internal compiler error' is not very specific; it
could have any number of causes.

Most likely, the problem is fixed in gcc 2.95; I couldn't reproduce it
on i486-pc-linux-gnu. Why don't you just build gcc 2.95 for as a
cross-compiler for powerpc-wrs-vxworks, and see for yourself?

If you *really* want to investigate the problem in the compiler you
are using, you should publish the compiler sources as the first
step. Remember, they are GPL'ed, so you are entitled to a copy of the
compiler sources, and you are free to publish them. I can't promise
anything, but I would at least attempt to reproduce the problem
locally.

Hope this helps,
Martin
