Have you had one or two spare cycles yet? :-)

Oh, hey, the guys on the GCC bug list will *really* like this.
So, I am copying them  :-).  The bug exists in both GCC 2.95.2 
*AND* the DevSys compiler for OSr5.  Cool.  We get to fix the same bug
(or the same symptom anyway).

GCC folks - please note - you'll like this (not):
the problem *only* occurs when GCC is invoked within a server shell
running with AutoGen for this particular task.  I use it in other
places under AutoGen and it works fine.  I use it to do this compile
from the command line and it works fine.  This triggers only when
it is buried deep in nested processes and it is virtually impossible
to play with it.  You, too, can see this warning by downloading:

  ftp://autogen.linuxave.net/pub/autogen-dev.tar.gz

and building the thing.  The problem occurs in the doc/ directory
building the "autogen.texi" file.
