I never managed to install Fedora on my sparc64 box, so these are
machines from the GCC Compile Farm
(http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm).  They both seem to be
running Debian, not Fedora.  I'm not eager to compile GCC myself.

I now suspect that this is a problem caused by changes in
optimization, since float-format.c does some things that should
be OK but I can imagine a compiler getting wrong (and maybe there
is some technicality that I have missed so far).  Can you try
building with "-O0" instead of the default "-O2"?

Thanks,

Ben.
