Hello all, I am having a problem when I try to bootstrap the compiler. Following is a typescript that demonstrates the problem. Here is some background information: Output of uname -a: Linux mayday 2.6.5-7.111-default #1 Wed Oct 13 15:45:13 UTC 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Output of gcc --version for version of gcc I am trying to bootstrap: gcc (GCC) 4.1.0 20050528 (experimental) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Is this a bug? Thank you in advance for any help. Sincerely, John Fitzpatrick
