Mine too :-| Looking at the top level Makefile, I gathered that one way
to get around this problem is to rename or remove the regress dir.  I'm
in the middle of rebuilding with regress renamed to regress.skip.  So
far so good.

Are you saying that the gcc in -current is broken and/or generates
broken code for the VAX?  That would suck.

I'm also pursuing the alternate path of getting -current running on an
i386 system for cross-compiling to VAX.  But that won't get around the
gcc problems if I'm understanding you correctly.
