When compiling some code with the default optimization (-O) I get *9*
copies of this message:

uopt: Warning: harmless compiler bug detected (LDA length 0); please 
                                                      report to MIPS

"harmless compiler bug" sounds like being "a little pregnant".  Has
anyone seen this and what should I do about it?

The apparent compiler version is 2.0:
f77  (f77)
        Mips Computer Systems 2.0

and the compile line is:

f77 -O -static -o fubar mipsn.f

I'm using the -static because the SAVE statement isn't working (and/or
my understanding  of it is wrong.  The latter wouldn't surprise me).

Note: can't upgrade, so a workaround would be very much appreciated!
