Bug#175478: g77-3.2: Internal error encountered compiling octave 2.1
Package: g77-3.2
Version: +N/A; reported 2003-01-05
Severity: important
This applies to g77-3.2 on m68k as detailed below in an email I first sent
to the m68k build crew, and John Eaton, Octave's author.
Let me know if you need more help. John does provide some more detail below,
and the buildd logs have more as well.
