Abstract: Internal compiler error
While re-compiling a GNU tool under W98, I got an internal compiler error on line 78.

Here is the file where it happend: (the line is shown by a comment)

file "McSorter.h"

Internal compiler errors are compiler bugs.  They should be
reported to the GCC maintainers (send email to bug-gcc@gnu.org).
This bug-tracking systems is only for reporting bugs in the DJGPP
libraries and utilities that are distributed in djdevNNN.zip
archive.

I am closing this bug.

Closed on 04/22/1999 09:00:55: This is a GCC bug, not a DJGPP bug.

I have found that repeatedly re-compiling eventually succeeds after 5 or so attempts. it's time consuming, but the exe is fine.

Windows 95/98 ONLY:

The cause of one of the many internal compiler errors is none other
than the Internet Explorer 4 SP2 windows desktop update. If you have
this installed and you are getting a repetitive internal compiler error
you can:

* - Compile in MS-DOS mode
* - Uninstall the desktop update

Or if you need to still be in windows:
* - Edit in Windows on one PC and compile on another
