This may well be true.

I'm using GCC 2.95.2. I tried to go back to egcs 1.1.2 since I built a
working glibc 2.0.7 with it but this wasn't that easy due to changes in
the C++ library (type streampos has changed so that programs handling it
as an integer instead of a structure won't build...). Building a compiler
on a 40MHz system takes quite a while so I didn't bother to mess with it.
:)

If I find a pre-built egcs 1.1.2 for m68k I could try it out to see if
GCC 2.95.2 really is causing the problem. I wonder who might have
knowledge concerning GCC on m68k - this might even be a known bug? If
there are any m68k-related patches for 2.95.2 where would I find them? I'd
rather use 2.95.2 than egcs 1.1.2 IF I can get 2.95.2 working (if it is
broken). 2.95.2 has seemed to compile other stuff just fine on m68k
though.. So - who might know more about this? Finding m68k-related
material is pretty hard these days..
