Sure. gcc people will fix this ICE some day. They've only postponed it because
it's caused by bad code, they say, and therefore it has a low priority for
them...
But if there is bad code in glibc, it should be fixed here, no?
My problem is not that I need a toolchain - as I wrote this workaround worked
for me and I have one now.
I only wanted to report this to get it finally fixed in the right place *if*
it is a glibc-bug. I understand too less to decide who's right here...

Well, my workaround fixes it for me and my toolchain works like a charm since
August. So I've no personal problem with it any more, I just wanted to heal
the world ;-)
But nevertheless thx for your ideas and recommendations!
