heh, well, egcs does a lot of things better than gcc, as well.  And I
believe -O6 is even more dangerous on the old gcc than it is with egcs..
But I don't want to start an egcs vs gcc thread here.  I just wanted to
let people know about the -O6 thing, so I won't be posting any more
messages on this topic.
