I'm not sure if that file will include additional patches from vendor.
If not, they're using a totally broken optimiser. I never got a response
on whether we should disable optimisation on gcc 2.96 or not ??
I'm not much surprised since they also ship an /alpha/ version of vim as
the only vi package (not even beta !). I'm surprised they haven't included
current CVS lyx or something ;)
