Internal compiler error in `make_decl_rtl', at varasm.c:738

[Harri Porten]

Hi !

gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

I get an internal compiler error when compiling the attached piece of
code via GNU libtool 1.3c. If I invoke g++ manually (same command line
as used by libtool!) I just get the justified syntax error.

What could the side effect of using libtool be ? Should I contact the
libtool guys (or strip down the script to a buggy minimum) ?

Thanks,

Harri.

*** the code ***

# 1 "html.cpp"
namespace N {
  class A {
    A();
  };
};

B *f()
{
  int i;
  N::A a;
  a;
}

*** command line and ouput ***

./libtool g++ -v --save-temps -c html.cpp
g++ -v --save-temps -c html.cpp  -fPIC -DPIC -o html.lo
