is the code using EBX?

there is no interrest in dirty hacks at least, any duplication of the
code will be rejected also any wrong code will be rejected and any change
which may slow the code down will as well be rejected
if someone provides a patch within these constraints it might be accepted
but dont forget that the problem is in gcc, a fix should as well be in gcc
ideally

it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For
