I bootstrapped by reverting verify.c to revision 1.66
(pre-BC-ABI-merge) on i686-pc-linux-gnu.
The good news is that it was successful and didn't produce
any new failures. It also converted the current ICE in PR5537
to the old verification error.
The bad news is that the following XPASSes disappeared:
 XPASS: pr13107_3 compilation from bytecode
 XPASS: pr13107_3 -O3 compilation from bytecode
Shall I still go ahead?
Thanks,
Ranjit.
