Two corrupted libstdc++-v3 files in gcc-4.4.2.tar.gz (invalid file extension)

[Nicolai Josuttis]

Hi everybody,

I am currently starting to work on a new edition of my
C++ Library book and from what I see, you already have
good support of a couple of new feature. Great!
So, I start to try g++ 4.4.2 out now...

However, both
  gcc-g++-4.4.2.tar.gz
as well as
  gcc-4.4.2.tar.gz
downloaded from multiple files
(I tried ftp.gnu.org and ftp.fu-berlin.de)
contain two files with the wrong file type:
In
  libstdc++-v3\include\ext\pb_ds\detail\bin_search_tree_
there is:
  constructors_destructor_fn_imps.hpp0000664
and there is also
  hash_load_check_resize_trigger_imp.hpp0000664
somewhere else.

It seems that these file must have the file type
  hpp
instead. Otherwise a build results in the following
messages during compilation:

First:

If both file names are fixes (getting the .hpp suffix),
the build works fine (cygwin environment in my case).

I found no comment about this problem yet (which is a little bit
like a surprise for me as this hinders a successful build and the
version is out a couple of weeks now).

I send this as an email because I am not sure whether such bugs of the
deployment of the tar file is a real bug. Seems more a configuration
or build problem of the preparation of these deliverables.

Hope this helps and best regards
  Nico
