I can't PROVE it.  But I think it's not the obligation of GCC developers
to prove that a bug is not a bug in GCC.  It is up to the reporter to
make reasonable arguments that a bug is a GCC bug, for example by
providing a testcase that makes the bug show up with only GCC tools,
or by showing GCC output and comparing it to whatever specs exist
for the output format and show that GCC doesn't conform.

So, file the bug report upstream please.  By your reasoning they'd have
to PROVE that it isn't their bug.

Richard.
