   Hello,
 
   I did this morning, in an empty directory:
 lynx http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gujin/gujin-0.7.tgz?download
 ncftpget
 ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/binutils/releases/binutils-2.13.2.1.tar.gz
 ncftpget ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gcc/snapshots/gcc-3.3-20030508.tar.gz
 tar -xvzf gujin-0.7.tgz
 
 -------------------------------------------
   Here I had to modify gujin/Makefile :
 @@ -1564,7 +1564,7 @@
         cd $(notdir $(basename $(basename $(subst core-,,$(LAST_GCC))))) ; \
         mkdir build ;                                                   \
         cd build/ ;                                                     \

         make bootstrap-lean ;                                           \
         make install )
  endif
 -------------------
   Is that a philosophycal change, no more "C" language, only "c" ????
 -------------------------------------------
 
 cd gujin
 make toolchain
 make dep boot.exe
 
   (all of this is shown without their output - quite long)
   At some point I got:

   So the bug is still present in this version.
   I do not know about my "reduced to the simplest source" bug report.
 
   I have to check about new warning "dereferencing type-punned".
