There is apparently an egcs optimization bug that miscompiles a few object files that are included in the X libraries. I am aware of Red Hat's fix for this and it is a ghastly kludge. I'm trying to come up with something slightly less vomit-inducing for the next release of the X libraries (3.3.3.1-5). Alternatively, if egcs 2.95 is out and packaged before I release -5 (probably next week), that may have the fix. This bug did not crop up in slink/stable because GNU gcc was still the standard compiler at that point (I think -- my memory can't hold anything prior to about 2 previous Debian X releases :) ). -- G.
