How is that a solution? People will keep reporting it. As said above, it to= ok more than 8 years to solve some bugs, but someone came around and fixed the= m. There are much older bugs than this one that may get fixed in the next coup= le of releases. WONTFIX means GCC devs don't want a fix. This is not the case here. There a= re even ideas above about how to fix this. It is just that there is no enough motivation for anyone to deal with the probably huge amount of work it requires.
