On the Alpha, since egcs is our default compiler (don't ask), we too are
having problems with jade. I'm tempted to compile it with the latest
egcs snapshot that I packaged up (I do it every week for Alphas) to see
if anything is remedied on our end at least.

Hmmm...well, I feel Ray's pain here since I'm one of the people
pressuring him to oust g++272 due to it being outdated and not multiple
architecture friendly. On the Alphas at least, g++272 will not build
very easily and, even if we get it to, it doesn't support alot of the
features of libstdc++ from egcs. I suppose we could split "the tree",
so to speak, when it comes to other architectures, but I think Ray is
just trying for some unity (and therefore personal sanity on his part)
amongst the architecture ports for something so integral as a
fundamental library and compiler.

I may take a look at jade's code also to see if I spot anything obvious,
but RL may take a front seat here time-wise. There's been alot of talk
on the egcs list about multiple inheritance problems lately, so that may
be the cause of this whole thing (disclaimer: I haven't actually looked
at the code involved yet).
If you can, let me know what it's doing and I'll see if I get comparable
results on the Alpha.
