Folks should certainly feel free to submit these changes.  I certainly
would like to see this fixed throughout the compiler.  Posting the
sed script again would probably encourage this :-)


However, there are still backends which we can not convert because they
are not part of egcs (for example the tic30/c40 ports which Michael
Hayes is working on) or front-ends which we can't convert yet (Pascal,
Ada, Modula3 immediately come to mind).  Thus we have to avoid breaking
those hunks of code with the alias set changes.

Mark's submitted & I've approved a fix for these problems.
