Reading the thread "Autoconf manual's coverage of signed integer
overflow & portability" I was horrified to discover about GCC's
miscompilation of the remainder expression that causes INT_MIN % -1
to cause a SIGFPE on CPUs of the i386 family.  Are there plans to
fix this bug (which, to me, looks quite serious)?
All the best,

   Roberto

P.S. I checked whether this bug affects my code and it does.
     Before yesterday I was completely unsuspecting of such
     a fundamental flaw... I wonder how many know about it.
