Most likely not the same GCC. IIRC you had one straight from the FSF, and another from some GNU/Linux vendor, that presumably patched the compiler. I don't quite remember which failed to compile and which accepted the ill-formed code, to tell whether the patch was a standard-conformance bug fix or a bugward-compatibility patch. Point is, if it's not the same exact compiler sources, this would explain differences. Heck, even with the same sources, you might end up with different compilers if the build compiler happened to be buggy and you didn't go through a 2+-stage bootstrap. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org}
