What exactly do you want to _achieve_ with this thread?  Please, do tell,
because you've completely lost most of us by now, I'm sure.

I have re-closed PR323 now as SUSPENDED instead of INVALID because I find
the messages from Jim Wilson, that Gaby pointed us to, convincing enough
to admit that the problem is _also_ with gcc and not just with the x87
hardware. With a little serious effort on your part, you could have found
those messages as well.

But I'm fed up with the way you're participating in this discussion.  In
this mail I'm replying to, you say you don't want to prepare a patch for
a bug that is marked INVALID. But in your previous mail, and throughout
this discussion, you are arguing that the bug should not be marked INVALID
to begin with.

So by all means, pretty _please_, get your story consistent or quit arguing.
And frankly, I _do_ expect a patch from you, now that PR323 is no longer
marked invalid.  If you don't post a patch, that will be the ultimate proof
that you are just trolling here.
