A freshly updated tree (mainline) dies with exactly this:

   Bootstrap comparison failure!
   cxxmain.o differs
   fold-const.o differs
   real.o differs
   tree.o differs

This happens on a i686 running a SuSE-7.1.  Binutils is 2.10.91 (I'm
not sure that is relevant though)

I start seeing that problem on 2001-03-28.
I made reports but nobody seems to care; then I thought I must be
being crazy until I saw confirmations from several GCC developpers. 

I think this problem is i686-specific; I was able to bootstrap the
same source on a solaris-2.7 box last week.

Thanks for your help,
