The failures aren't random -- they're pretty predictable.

The one that crops up most often is there's no way to generate suitable
code for an indirect call to a static function where one of the parameters
passed in registers is a floating point value.

What kinds of problems are you seeing with gcc-2.95.3 on hpux?  [ I really
haven't followed the discussion. ]
