ICE in cpp from gcc-2.95.1 on Linux/alpha

[Christian Iseli]

Hi folks,

I have stumbled upon an ICE in gcc 2.95.1 on Linux/Alpha

$ uname -a
Linux ludwig-alpha 2.2.3 #2 Thu May 20 16:13:54 CEST 1999 alpha unknown
$ rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.1.2pre1-CI.1

cpp: Internal compiler error in `rescan', at ../../gcc/gcc/cccp.c:3148
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/faq.html#bugreport > for instructions.

This happens while compiling the file XFree86-3.3.5/xc/programs/xterm/screen.c
from the XFree86 package, version 3.3.5.

Note that the error goes away if I specify -D__NO_STRING_INLINES (or if I 
compile without optimization).

Please let me know if I should provide some of my local files (I tried a 
--save-temps, but the .i file is empty...)

Cheers,
					Christian
