@@ -45,9 +45,7 @@ This problem occurs with several different combinations of GCC version
and C source file.
This seems to be a bug in GCC's handling of global register variables.
The GCC maintainers have shown no interest in fixing it. They appear
to consider global register variables to be a deprecated feature, even
though it isn't documented as such in the GCC manual.
The bug seems to be finally fixed in GCC 3.3 or 3.4.
If this problem occurs when compiling the source distribution, install
from the binary distribution instead.
