If you goof up and call one of the __builtin functions with the wrong
number of arguments, GCC 1.36 will deal with it properly, but G++ 1.36.1
will segfault.
The problem appears to be that the function error_with_decl() may be
called (in G++ at least) with the decl node for one of the builtin
functions (which has a null DECL_SOURCE_FILE pointer).
In order to insure that neither GCC nor G++ ever segfault because of the fact
that a decl node has a null DECL_SOURCE_FILE pointer, I suggest the following
trivial patch to tree.c. This patch is applicable to GCC 1.36 (but your line
numbers may vary). A similar (but different) patch should also be applied
to G++ 1.36.1.
Note that keeping DECL_SOURCE_FILE pointers non-null may also come in handy
if you are debugging GCC itself (and are calling debug_dump_tree).
