http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2000-07/msg01227.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-03/msg01388.html

They appear to have gone into the gcc tree Apr 19 2001:
http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gcc/gcc/config/alpha/vms.h

The release I was using, gcc3.0.x, was last updated in Feb 2001.
Thus gcc3.1 probably has the bug fixed.

I managed to apply the March patch to my gcc3.0.2 tree, and am now building...
