 This seems to be fixed in the current sources.  Would you like to try
 building from CVS and see if the problem still occurs?
 
 If it does, please provide a specific test program we can use.
 There's no reason to provide hints when exact instructions are not
 much more trouble.
 
 $ cat complex.c
 cat: complex.c: No such file or directory
 $ cd ~/play
 $ cat complex.c
 #include <stdio.h>

 main (int argc, char **argv)
 {
   puts ("Hello, world!");
   return 0;
 }
 $ gcc -g complex.c -o complex
