The bug that caused KDE miscompilations.

IIRC, you were one of the people who pushed for an early 4.0.1 release 
to fix the KDE miscompilations.   All I'm doing is following through on 
that, as announced a week ago:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-05/msg01466.html

I am not sure what your point is about 21173; it's fixed, which is good.

If you would like to offer constructive feedback politely, I'd be very 
appreciative, but your tone is consitently argumentative and critical. 
I can't tell if you're trying to help me do a better job, or just trying 
to give me a hard time.
