OFYI and to finalize this test sequence, I was able to compiled successfully
both gcc480-20120722s.zip and gcc480-20120729s.zip and to use those produced
compilers to compile the sources a second time from scratch.  I checked this
on WinXP Prof SP3 (32 bit), Win2K SP5 (32 bit) and Win98SE.  No memory issues
like the ones described for Vista raised.  Due to the time it takes to compile
the sources and that LFN support is required to compile it, it becomes pointless
and a waste of time to try to compile the sources on MSDOS or some clones of it.

Neitherless the "uncomputable CFA for frames" issue remains making the produced
binaries useless for debugging.  This is a really serious issue.
