Well, I have to admit that was a poor and over reacted reply from my side, but
as 
you spent your time to investigate the issue I have spent my time to understand
why 
it was happening and some hours, no kidding, to shrink it as much I could to
create 
the test case I have submitted, as you can see that code is useful to nothing.

I was frustrated to see a short "it work/fixed in current release" after having
work
half noon to submit it, the fast it was working with a new gcc release was an 
information I already knew it, I'd expect something on the line: "o yes, it was
an
old bug we have already corrected", that's why I have submitted the bug not to
drive
someone else trying the same I did.

As you can see from my first post I have tried to shrink more than that, and
each 
piece I was removing was then making the test "passing".

I'm not happy to complain, why would I? I'm happy when stuff works and when 
a submitted bug was a real bug helping to improve gcc quality.

When I submitted it, for me the bug report was not incomplete otherwise I
wouldn't 
have submitted it, I did follow the guide and the only piece missing, my fault, 
was the output of g++ -v -save-temps because I forgot to redirect the output to
a 
file. I would have provided it immediately if you would have pointed it out
earlier.

Thank you for it. May I say now then: "time to upgrade gcc" ?

I'm sorry it was not my intention to hurt anyone.
