Ummm, with any optimization it did work.  i tool all the flags -ansi,
-pedantic and blah blah out, and it compiled.

By the way, the tele module in /degas/lib/libggi/display/tele was doing the
same
thing, always.  I could never figure out what was going on, so I started
disableing (i.e --disable-tele) module compilation.  I had this problem
with anothe X11/MOTIF application which I was trying to port from SGI. and I
kept getting
this b0 crashes of assembler.  This weekend when i took some of the
uneccessary socket
stuff out from X11lib then X11 compilation also gave this error.  That is
when i though
i should check with gcc Pro to see what this crash of assembler with b0
error means, which
have seen a few times.
