   Looks like gcc/egcs on SunOS are seriously broken!

I don't think it's a problem with SunOS in general.  I'm not observing
the bug on my sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4 build with gcc 2.8 1997-12-10.  I'm
using SunOS 4.1.4 with all patches recommended by Sun, and compiling
with -O; I tried -O4 and could still build stamp-attr without problem.

The problem could be specific to SunOS 4.1.3; or it could be a Sun bug
fixed by one of the Sun patches I've installed; or it could be
something else.

Here's how to find out which patches Sun recommends for SunOS 4.1.x.
