While this is true (and I fancy the chances this will work) I'm still
somewhat curious as to why the native linux compiler doesn't like it. I
just tried it myself and it works with gcc 2.95.2, but fails virtually
identically to Matthew with gcc 2.96-RH.

It seems that constraint definition has been tightened up. I'm applying a
patch locally to fix it and I intend to do an anoncvs release before end of
tomorrow to address a PC redboot bug that people have come across on the
list.
