What you should do is get the latest gcc (2.5.6 at the current time)
and rebuild cc1 to see if it is still a problem.  Even if you can't do
this, it's still worth reporting.

Bugs against gcc itself should be sent (preferrably) to gnu.gcc.bug or
bug-gcc AT prep DOT ai DOT mit DOT edu.  Please see the section in the gcc info files
about bug reports before reporting any.
