GPC alpha-970510 fails to compile this code:

-----------------------------

program ArrayTest(output);

type node = 0..4500; A = array[node] of integer;

var N1 : A; N2 : ^A;

begin writeln('OK'); end.

-----------------------------

It barfs on the "var N2: ^A;" declaration.

This used to work with previous releases of GPC.

I can find no paragraph in the spec where it says that this declaration is valid, but I believe it is. Anyway, it BP likes it, and now `gpc -fborland-pascal' doesn't :-(

BTW: This is the first bug detected by the automated compiler suite I'm writing, so I guess this proves the value of having such a thing.
