egcs-20000511 i686-pc-linux-gnu g77 ICE with -ffast-math

[N8TM@aol.com]

The attached simplified version of saxpy.f from LAPACK-3.0 fails when 
compiled with today's snapshot, but works fine with gcc-2.95.2.  The bug 
appears to be triggered by the comparison against 0. which is done only to 
speed up that special case.
