Since the branch has bootstraps disabled, you are at the mercy of your 
host compiler.  It's a bad situation for us because we run into these 
little problems.

I'm working on getting the branch to bootstrap, but it will take a few 
more days.  In the meantime, we'll just have to live with odd breakages 
like this.

When porting patches to trunk, however, we have to do a full bootstrap 
and test cycle from absolute scratch.  Branch results are invalid on 
mainline.


Diego.
