Hey, no problem.  I've got v2.0.0 if I wanted, but I decided that
reporting my experiences maybe worthwhile.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I wasn't 100% sure that this was the commit
that introduced the problem.  As I've used "git bisect run make"
basically blind, I already suspected that it was a false alarm, but I
did not want to throw away the output of roughly an hour of compilation
;)

As I wrote previously, I have gc-7.2alpha4 installed.  If I can help
with testing anything, just let me know.

Thanks
