Thats a sign that your compiler is ill; get a recent version of the EGCS
compiler (I think there are RPMs somewhere on RedHats site); I normally
built recent EGCS versions from the source on
ftp://egcs.cygnus.com/pub/egcs

this message comes to you from an LX running 2.2.0-pre3 built with the
latest EGCS snapshot.
