Well, 3.4 isn't even a released compiler so As far as I'm concerned
it doesn't count.  3.3.x is another story.

Hmm.

Unfortunately, nearly all of these links point to invalid targets so
my browser doesn't find them :(.  Could you just post links to the
summary page one level up?

I'm not sure what you mean.  If it doesn't say 1_30_0 in the page
it's probably a test of the HEAD revision.

Aren't these the same tests as cited above?

Yeah, the "fix" by Jens looks broken to me.  Jens, to which versions
of GCC does this patch apply?

This two are truly odd.  I'm going to install Comeau here and see if I
can reproduce it on both compilers.

Same problem as above.  I'm beginning to think it wasn't run on the
same code I have on my disk.

OK, I think I've fixed all of the above.

Feh.  The Darwin compiler is broken almost beyond repair.  Ask Ralf
Grosse-Kunstleve to tell you of his heroic efforts.

aCC is definitely broken beyond repair.  I'm not going ot worry about
that

This one is also a compiler crash, so... "ditto"
