Subject:   EGCS breaks dump?
Message-ID:  <14099.32331.276932.746125@grasshopper.cs.duke.edu>

dump, when built with egcs, creates unreadable backups on alphas.  Eg,
restore says:

#restore -ivf /var/tmp/image
Verify tape and initialize maps
Tape block size is 32
Tape is not a dump tape

When built on an older system, with gcc version 2.7.2.1, things work
as expected and usable backups created.

I'm fairly certain its egcs itself, because if I create the .o files
on a new system (-current as of last friday or so, with egcs as cc)
and link the binary on an older system (-current as of mid Jan., gcc
as cc), bad backups are created.  

I've tried backing down to -O0, which doesn't seem to help.

Can a toolchain wizzard please look into this?

Thanks,

Drew
