	Maybe, we should post assembly and/or preprocessed outputs for 
a given test-case compiled with given options. This way s.o. :-) could 
have a look... Could s.o. post an adequate test ?

To add another data point, see Alexandre Oliva's test results just posted.
He's getting lots of EH failures which points to the fact that he may be
using an old gas, yet *no* typename5.C failure.

This is certainly getting weird. fyi, I couldn't reproduce the problem on
any ix86 system I have access to -- linux-gnulibc1, cygwin32 and mingw32,
all running the same gas/binutils snapshot (binutils ss-971023).

Perhaps there's some sort of slippery x86 thing going on here, becuase
typename5.C fails on i586-pc-sco3.2v5.0.4, too.   See:
	http://www.cygnus.com/ml/egcs/1997-Nov/0950.html


Interestingly, it seems to be a recent failure.

$ grep typename5.C */*.sum
coff-971123/g++.sum:PASS: g++.pt/typename5.C (test for excess errors)
coff-971129/g++.sum:FAIL: g++.pt/typename5.C (test for excess errors)
elf-971123/g++.sum:PASS: g++.pt/typename5.C (test for excess errors)
elf-971129/g++.sum:FAIL: g++.pt/typename5.C (test for excess errors)

Nope, I'm not the only one. See 

    http://www.cygnus.com/ml/egcs/1997-Nov/0946.html          

for the results from Peter Schmid, posted on Nov. 29. He also does not see
the failure for typename5.C that you see. Max Lawson's message that shows 
the error message from running the compiler on typename5.C just doesn't
happen on my machine.
