How can I do that ? There is no email adress and the webform is
subscriber-only. I tried to post the following:

   I suppose you mean -fno-strict-aliasing, since -fno-strict-alias
   does not exist. In this case that does not fix the problem. This
   code work correctly when build with the same compiler on 10 other
   platforms and AFAIK, casting long* to long does not break strict
   aliasing rules.

but it didn't go through, AFAICS.

I usually do that, but only gcc-3.3 was installed on debussy.
Then I remembered about the dpkg-deb trick. (By the way, thanks to 
have made the gcc packages easily relocatable!)

Cheers,
Bill.
