 is where high priority regression PR 6387 started, which has this 
 testcase:
 -----------------------
 void foo();
 void bar() {
   struct A { A() { foo(); } } a;
 }
 -----------------------
 and yields the following result with -g1 -fPIC:
 
 bash-2.05$ ../bin/gcc-2001-12-25/bin/c++ -fPIC -g1 -c PR6387.cc
   PR6387.cc:5: Internal compiler error in dwarf2out_finish, at 
   dwarf2out.c:11959
 
 Given the log message, it might well be that the problem originated 
 earlier and a change in meaning of -g1 now exposed the problem. Maybe the 
 authors of the patch can comment on how the new meaning of -g1 can be 
 reproduced with compilers that preceded this patch?
