Re: [Linux-ia64] The 1117 snapshot alignment bug

[Jim Wilson <wilson@cygnus.com>]

Yes, it is a compiler bug.  It is a generic problem effecting all targets,
though it is more noticable for 64-bit machines.  Not clear when it was
introduced, I didn't want to spend that much time looking at the problem.
The bug was independently found and fixed by Richard Kenner last week.
