That is sad.
That's the other real beef I've had with gcc development lately, and was the reason I reacted so strongly to this. If that was Kenner, then I do retract the statement that Kenner never did me no wrong. I just happened to interact with the egcs people on it.
I've actually been very happy with gcc development 99% of the time. I never had a problem at all until very recently, but now within a few months of each other I've had two cases where I thought the maintainers acted completely irrationally, wanting to disable features that had better fixes.
[ Yes, even the "disable certain optimizations" patch is a better fix than disabling the cases that can trigger the optimization bugs. No, I don't like that patch either, but I like it a whole lot more than trying to just make the bug harder to notice ]
