FYI. The compiler update did fix the problem. I was able to update my Hercules-emulated S/390 setup with the later RPMs and recompile to verify that the bug no longer reproduces.
However, because ihost.com installs their Linux/390 with the /usr sub-tree mounted read-only, I could not verify the fix on a concrete host, but I'm not worried about it. Stephen Dennis (AKA Brazil)
