Internal Compiler Error with GCC 4.1.0

["Gaurav Jain" <gaurav.anywhere@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

While compiling the piece of code at the end of this mail, I'm getting
an "Internal Compiler Error".  I'm using GCC  4.1.0 on Fedora Core,
Kernel 2.6.15-1.

This error only occurs with '-g' option.  Also, gcc 3.2 works fine
with the same program.

Is this a known bug in GCC 4.1?  Is there a workaround that I could
use such that the code compiles with gcc 4.1?

Thanks in advance,
Gaurav
