Sorry, but the compiler bug has been present in the port version
of GCC-3.1 as well, a few weeks ago, and existed in the version
to become GCC-3.1.1 ...

I opened a PR at gcc.org, didn't get any feedback, yet.

Only a single source file triggers the optimizer bug, and the
work-around should be appropriate until the compiler is fixed,
IMHO.

I'm sure that there is a lot of work being done to keep up with
the latest gcc versions. It just isn't that simple to upgrade such
a crucial build tool (if compiling a new gcc fails, then make world
doesn't have much of a chance of succeeding ...)

Did the GCC-3.1 from ports compile translate.c with optimization
turned on ???

It didn't, just one or two weeks ago.
