Sorry for the context-less mail but I didn't find a proper obvious gcc-patches-message to reply to. (Also, I can't log into bugzilla because to enter a PR as there appears to have been some SSL changes such that my old firefox and gcc.gnu.org can no longer agree on a cipher or something.) But, since r214690 and at up to and including r214714 (HEAD as of this writing), a build for cris-elf fails on trunk as follows:

(IIRC, I saw *one* type-change; one line, for two ports!) Also, I wouldn't worry too much trying to go to great lengths to try and *avoid* this kind of fallout (it's just going to happen, QED), as long as you're prepared to handle it quickly. And thanks in advance for that! ;) brgds, H-P
