I tried to compile gpc-19991030.tar.gz with gcc 2.95.2 on Alpha/Linux and got the following build failure:

../.././xgpc -B../.././ -c -I. -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -O2 -O2 -DRTS_RELEASE_STRING="'__GPC_RTS_VERSION_`cat /tmp/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/rts/rts_release`__'" -DBSD_RTS=0 `if [ x@with_shared@ = xyes ] ; then echo -fPIC; fi` --unit-path=/tmp/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/p/rts --automake heap.pas error.pas: In function `Geterrormessage': error.pas:365: Internal compiler error in `copy_to_mode_reg', at explow.c:669 Please submit a full bug report.

Sorry, no gdb backtrace for now.

Btw. I tried to search the mailing list archives - but the last archives I could find are from October 1999. What happened to the archives?
