No idea.  It has been some time since I last worked on preview-latex,
and I just took it up last week with some new stuff, being
flabberghasted at how bad I must have bungled matters.  Until it
became obvious that something else was going on.

I suppose that maybe two months ago or so this probably did still
work.  Also, I have not yet received any third party bug reports, and
there are quite a few people around that tend to use recent Emacs CVS
versions in connection with AUCTeX/preview-latex.  So it is my guess
that it might have been just some time in the last month or so.

Not yet.  I can try a few things, but stuff is not overly conclusive
by now, and I have not ruled out gcc problems before reporting this,
anyway.  That's why I wanted to get some feedback first.
