Looking at your previous post,
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2004-04/msg00027.html
I see I'm just repeating stuff you've already said.
Ah, well, it bears repeating :-)
Do you have any sort of URL for the fixing patch you mentioned?
(http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-04/msg01295.html looks related,
but that's for gcc-3.2; 3.3 is supposedly fixed.)
