While trying to compile the GNU package m4 I came across the following
pgcc bug.  It generates the error against pgcc 1.1 but does not generate
an error under egcs 2.91.52 so I assumed it's probably related to pgcc. 
This is under linux 2.1.120 and glibc 2.0.95.  Anyways, here's the info
that I hope is enough to go on...

A few notes:

o I tried to prune error down much as I could -- both in source and
optimizations options.  The original source that gave me the initial
error from the m4 distribution was "m4-1.4/src/input.c".  I'm not sure
the segv shown here is the result of the same bug that gave me the error
when trying to compile m4.  (That was with -O6 -mpentium flags.)

o Hopefully this is enough for information for you to go on.  I spent an
hour or so on this trying to track it down the error myself but it's
becoming painfully obvious that I'm probably getting in over my head. 
I'll give it a crack again tomorrow after I get some sleep.

Note: I'm not on the pgcc mailing list so if you need to contact me give
me an email at the address listed below.  I would also be appreciative
if I could get subscriber's address so I can get this list myself.

Adios!
