        Is there any progress toward using EGCS-1.0 (GCC-2.8) on NetBSD?
At least for the PowerPC port?  One really needs EGCS and post-2.8.1 beta
releases of binutils (e.g., H.J. Lu's Linux releases) to get everything
right for non-AIX PowerPC.  I don't know if this is causing the specific
problem we are discussing, but it could be causing any number of lingering
bugs.
