Content
The gcc optimization bug was fixed (with impressive speed!) upstream. I'm going to close this as 'won't fix'. It's probably possible to find a workaround, but the issue is minor, apparently only affects one platform, and relates to a little-used method. For people who want this fixed in their own Python builds, a fairly unintrusive workaround is to add '-fno-builtin-copysign' to the compiler flags, or to compile with version <4.4 of gcc until the next bugfix release of gcc 4.4 or 4.5. David: thanks for reporting this, and for all the followup.
