Great Alexandre, thanks!

I'm going to try and test this on irix6.5.  I took a 3.3 checkout from
this morning plus the following three patches:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-01/msg02039.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-01/msg02026.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-01/msg02041.html

Is that the correct set?  (Results should be done tonight.)
