Well, I'd just have put a *4 here.

Well, that's fine.
But both things are regressions - they worked fine for gcc up to 4.4, they are
reported
as gcc bugs.
Of course, patching fsvs is a workaround.

Thank you very much!
I'm really hoping that someone picks up fsvs in debian ... the currently
packaged
version is a few years old.
