Thank you Mr Hubicka for solving this. I had earlier used your patch from
comment 16 but i had to apply it by hand as my patch-2.5.9 (Larry Wall) would
take that published patch even after html2text; changing --- gimplify.c to
gimplify.c.old; deleting all text after the second @@. Maybe what is published
on bugzilla is no intended for outsiders like myself and works only with CVS,
subversion. However, doing it by hand enabled me to compile cdrutils
(Schilling) and erase an CD-RW.
Could you or somebody else clarify what patch program to use or state that
original reporters of PR's should refrain from using the posted patches.
Now to comments 7, 10, 11, 13, 15 the vital difference is that _dcb_ and
apparently Mr Guenther used a 64-bit machine while I am using a 32-bit.
Question is it the policy of the gcc community to render all 32-bit machines
obsolete for later versions of gcc-4.{3-9}.x? just like certain C constructs
are first marked as disparaged and subsequently rendered unacceptable.
I believe that the requested clarification should be made available to users at
large. Thanks again.
