The overhead required to debug this and then to find a proper solution for broken compilers warrants a documentation change. It may be possible to "be smart" in configure, but I am also wary of changing FP compiles for the numerous versions of broken compilers that currently don't produce broken code (as far as we know). Thanks to Ingvar Hagelund for finding this issue and being patient and helpful in debugging it.

It turns out this is probably more complex than I'm making it, and it may be worth fixing at build time. But it warrants a discussion that's probably best had elsewhere. |
