Using -fomit-frame-pointer sitll results in the same error.  I
built egcs-1.1.2 using the rpm from rawhide.redhat.com (includes
the linux patch from hlj at varesearch) then built glibc-2.1.1
without error using the same flags as with pgcc-1.1.1.  However,
in a message that showed up on the pgcc list in response to my
original would indicate that egcs-1.1.2 and glibc-2.1.2-990401
produces the same error.  It seems this pesky problem has been
around for awhile and only occurs with certain combinations of
egcs/pgcc and glibc versions and not others.
