llvm dev - May 2008 - [LLVMdev] llvm triggered a GCC bug

Hi !

I tried to compile LLVM SVN 51761 with the Debian Etch provided
g++ ("g++ (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)").
While doings this, I got this error:

llvm[4]: Compiling X86AsmPrinter.cpp for Release build
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/bits/stl_vector.h:

I know this this message says it's a gcc bug, but some months
ago I compiled LLVM with the same compiler without any problem, so
you might want to know about this as well.

I got my LLVM successfully compiled by compiling this one file by 
removing the "-O3". g++ also failed with -O2 and -O1.

The llvm check seemed to work with this, I had

# of expected passes            2492
# of expected failures          6
