Well, yeah, you cannot compile it in the moment. But it is also wrong
that it work before. The compiler simply generated wrong code without
warning.
We will hopefully soon have a working compiler with the underlying
(hard to fix) problem gone. Meanwhile use egcs 1.1.2 for the
compilation and don't use the complex math functions (at least not the
complex float).
