    If you use the "-ce" command line option, it works fine.

However, beware that it does not work on all of the files of GCC.  In
particular, compiling reload1.c with "-ce" results in incorrect code
that causes the resulting compiler to crash when recompiling other
files.

Anyone who is using GCC on the Alliant should get a copy of my patches
to several of its files via anonymous ftp to Gang-of-Four.Stanford.EDU,
in the directory pub/gcc-1.33.  More changes are on the way, but
they're not fully tested yet.  Please let me know if you would like
notification when I have made these changes.
