Good idea...make sure that the bug submission has complete info for
forwarding to the gcc list (see their submission guidelines). I only ask
because I'll probably be the one reproducing it when someone asks :-)

Agreed, but I'm not the maintainer, so my opinions matter little :-P

I removed optimisation for the woody builds of the beta Qt
versions. We run into quite a few optimiser bugs on Alpha, so we're used
to working around them if they're easily defeatable. FYI, though, most of
the ICEs that I ran into were because of problems in the code that I'm
compiling. Either way, they shouldn't have come up (since the code was
technically correct, albeit loosely), but it may be worth looking at the
offending code to see what it might be choking on. I've also found that
it helps to try compiling the offending files with '-save-temps -v' so
that I can see what's going on in the generated assembly (if any) and from
a command point of view. I then play with the optimisation switches (the
individual ones, not just -O2/-O1/etc) to see which is causing the
problem and hopefully why. Don't think I got around to it yet on the Qt
code, though.
