I built fully bootstrapped the gcc/g++ compiler based on the 4.3 branch
revision 152973 on  an x86-64 FC15 platform and couldn't replicate the failure.

On the SUES 11.1 IA64 platform, I built the 4.5.4 release compiler from sources
via a full bootstrap.  There is no segfault.

It is looking like this failure is particular to the installed 4.3.4 g++
compiler.  If I have time, I might try rebuilding that version on this IA64
system and see if the bug replicates.  

It seems that this bug report will likely be resolved as "works for me", and
we'll need to build with the 4.5.4 compiler.
