[gnu.utils.bug] gcc 1.28 bug

Hi, I didn't know where to send gcc bug reports.  I just saw a reference
to this list, so I hope I came to the right place.

Have you folks tried to compile xps (the PostScript preview under X11)
with gcc 1.28?  On a Sun 3/50 SunOS 3.5 with a 68881 gcc bombs out on
the file device.c IFF the -O flag is given:

% gcc -v -c -O -DX11 device.c
gcc version 1.28
 /usr/local/lib/gcc-cpp -v -DX11 -undef -D__GNU__ -D__GNUC__ -Dmc68000 -Dsun
   -Dunix -D__OPTIMIZE__ -D__HAVE_FPU__-Dmc68020 device.c /tmp/cca02173.cpp
GNU CPP version 1.28
 /usr/local/lib/gcc-cc1 /tmp/cca02173.cpp -quiet -dumpbase device.c -O
   -version -o /tmp/cca02173.s
GNU C version 1.28 (68k, MIT syntax) compiled by GNU C version 1.28.
gcc: Program cc1 got fatal signal 6.

Without the -O the resulting xps binary dumps core.  Should I send you
the source (and header) files?  I had assumed xps might be popular
enough that you have a copy already.
