Suggested (easier) fix to ... RE: Regressions problem (200 failures)

Title: RE: Suggested (easier) fix to ... RE: Regressions problem (200 fa ilures)



And a 
bit more... the rebuild/regression did succeed (after some 
tweaking)
and 
the problem with __main is in the current CVS as well.

  Mark:
   
  I just tried to rebuild with my interim patch in place, and found that 
  RTH had completely
  rewritten the area.  If I don't run into too many ICEs during the 
  rebuild of the compiler
  suite (it comes and goes regularly depending on who has patched what) 
  I'll know
  something tomorrow (Fri) about what effect his changes had on this, but 
  from
   looking at the code, it may have the same problem.  (I'm 
  skipping my patch for the moment.)
   
  Richard: quick synopsis: the code in this area doesn't (didn't?) take 
  into account the
  possibility of there being a call to __main, with the consequence that 
  the initial
  breakpoint for main ends up at the {, rather than at the first statement 
  *if* the
  call to __main is generated.

    Touche. 
    OK, now I understand the problem -- thanks to you.  
    I'll look back at why I did what I did -- and then 
    see if I can figure out how to fix it. 
    Thanks for bearing with me on this.
