Some further info that may be of help:  I had compiled gcc-1.35 with the
the value "CFLAGS=-O" (no -g: yes, I know this is stupid, but...).  This
version of gcc forgot to push the parameters to the builtin ".div".

Compiling gcc with "CFLAGS=-g -O" produces a compiler that generates correct
code fo the call to ".div".  In both cases, the sample program I mentioned
in my last mail was compiled without -g or -O flags: simply "gcc -S".

So the "-g" flag affects the compiled code of the compiler, and compiling
without it causes the stage1 compiler to generate incorrect code for the
stage2 compiler.

Hope this helps troubleshoot the bug.
