Hi,

We just have a buggy version of gcc and it appears that 
the register allocator is the main problematic area.

This is not really a problem for me because what I first
try out  is a newer version of gcc if I can not get 
around the compile problem. At any rate remember
that at least my reported compiler bug appears to be fixed in 
the latest gcc-devel port.
