[gnu.g++.bug] compiling builtin.cc under g++1.31

rpj%cadillac.cad.mcc.com@MCC.COM (Rich Johns) (12/28/88)

I do not know why, but 1.31 seems to have a problem with the
optimization phase. If you remove the -O option it will compile.  I
compiled builtin.cc seperately rather than change the CFLAGS variable
in the g++ makefile. Everything else compiled ok, although I also got
the "varargs.o: has no symbol table" message. I compiled another program
(which I had previously compiled with 1.25.1 and which ran correctly)
and found that I had to remove the -O option to get it to compile. It
does not run correctly however. I don't really know why, as I have
just encountered it. Nonetheless I thought I'd throw this out to the
net.  I am a bit suspicious about the -O though. MAybe I should have
removed it from the Makefile altogether.........I'll report more
later.
