Hi John,

thanks for the error report. My guess is that it could be a code
generator bug in the previous stage. FifoQueue is one of the first
compiler modules to be built. Out of interest could you try building
other modules such as:

cd <build-dir>/gcc
make gm2/gm2-compiler-paranoid/SymbolTable.o
make gm2/gm2-compiler-paranoid/SymbolKey.o
make gm2/gm2-compiler-paranoid/Lists.o
make gm2/gm2-compiler-libs/ASCII.o
make gm2/gm2-compiler-libs/FIO.o

ASCII should be the easiest to compile, in the past I've also seen the
others fail in similar circumstances. Also do you know if the
regression tests fail - in particular the "run" tests?

Thanks Gaius
