Bug runs off cliff, disappears from thin air. Jay keeps on running, until he notices the bug's gone, and he's standing on thin air. Oops. After I actually peered at the output of cc1 from 3.2, I agree, you're right, the bug is fixed. I was so used to forward-porting this patch from revision to revision that I applied this without even checking whether it was necessary. What I don't understand is *how* the bug got fixed. It looks like the OPTABS should still set us up for the GOFAST library. Oh well, can't argue with working code. I wish the "-fdata-sections doesn't apply to C++ .bss" bug would get fixed while I'm not looking too...although that one might take some arguing about for people who are stuck on truly ancient binutils.
