Thanks. Out of curiosity, I tried to reproduce by with a build of gcc 4.2.1, to see if I could bisect. But it seems the toolchain is quite complex. After much munging, I managed to build a broken compiler (which I think is due to a much too-new version of bison, but I stopped digging).

Your suggestion elsewhere in the thread to just use clang instead sounds good to me. :)
