I tend to think the code should be removed. There were essentially two
sets with the "same" code. However, the unused branch which didn't use
named returns had rotted a bit. Apparently, `and', `or' and `xor' are
c++ diagraphs and can't be used.

I don't have any time this weekend to work on it but I think a first
step would be to dump the assembly code for Fix.cc and see what is
happening with respect to the week definitions. Then, looking at the
rtl may help to pinpoint where things are going wrong. It's a fairly
recent change to the compiler that has caused the problem.
