Bootstrap error in snapshot gcc-20010402 on alphaev67-dec-osf5.1

[Himanshu Agrawal]

Hi Rainer,

I can use your patches, but I prefer not to incorporate them myself. I
am, sort of, just testing the compilation of gcc alphaev67-dec-osf5.1.
This is because I do not see anybody else doing it on the list.

I just pickup the latest snapshot and attempt to compile it, and inform
the list members of the errors so that the people who are actually
developing the code may make the required changes in the next snapshot.
But, if applying the patches you suggest and sending the output to the
list might help the developers, I can do it. Since, you have already
checked it, there is no point of my repeating it.

I will wait for new snapshot with the patches and then try to compile
it.

-Himanshu.
