Blitz++ testsuite failure in egcs-20000117

[Derrick E. Bass]

The blitz0.5beta testsuite function "storage" fails under egcs-20000117
with the following error:
Test failed: ./storage.cpp line 39
It passes under gcc-2.95.1 and gcc-2.95.2 (or rather, under their pgcc
variants).

I have heard that Blitz++ is part of the gcc testsuite, so I will not
include the rather large (~1.5 MB) .ii file; but in case you need it, it is at
http://www.its.caltech.edu/~derrick/storage.ii.gz .  The assembler file is
at http://www.its.caltech.edu/~derrick/storage.s.gz (~3.0 MB)

The output from g++ -v is below.  I am on a Redhat 5.2 system with a
Pentium Pro.

By the way, does anyone happen to know if there are any recent
snapshots that reliably compile Blitz++?  The 256MB of VM on my
machine is not enough to compile this one particular
program I have, and I am eager to test out CodeSourcery's new inliner
to see if it helps.

Thanks!
