OK, after having updated everything to last Tuesday's -current, I decided
to do an incremental `make UPDATE=update build' to get even more current.

But, it seems that something has broken in g++ - whenever it comes across
something like

	char _shortbuf[1];

it spits out a rather nasty looking error message:

In file included from /src/gnu/lib/libg++/libstdc++/../libio/iolibio.h:1,
                 from /src/gnu/lib/libg++/libstdc++/../libio/libioP.h:30,
                 from /src/gnu/lib/libg++/libstdc++/../libio/editbuf.cc:30:
/src/gnu/lib/libg++/libstdc++/../libio/libio.h:198: Internal compiler error.
/src/gnu/lib/libg++/libstdc++/../libio/libio.h:198: Please submit a full bug report to `bug-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu'.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

Any ideas?
