Yeah. It is unfortunate that we don't have enough autobuilders that
report problems when the build is broken on a particular platform. There
seem to be some scripts in the gcc/contrib directory that can help. I
will see if I can transform my auto-tester (that does send daily results
to gcc-testresults mailing list) on PPC into a build-broken warning
system as soon as the build is working again.

I am afraid that if you aren't a C++ compiler hacker there is nothing
much to do with the test case. I just posted it as an extra data point
in case Mark Mitchel isn't able to figure out what is happening here (he
doesn't have a powerpc machine available so it might be tricky to
debug).
