All the egcs that I have compiled so far (none with glibc2.1 though),
including one for mips-irix6, show this `problem', while SGI cc
passes.  So, is this really an egcs bug and has nothing to do with
glibc ?  If so, I'd like to report it as a bug to egcs-bugs, because
egcs-1.1.2pre2 still shows the problem.

Regards,
Wolfram.
