g++/cpp 3.3.5 internal error - how can I work-around?

[Carsten Fuchs]

Dear ng,

with one of my C++ source files, I'm currently experiencing an internal 
compiler error with g++/cpp 3.3.5 on my Debian Sarge system.

(Actually, running g++ -E ... terminates with an internal error. The 
normal call to g++ without the -E complains about hundreds of stray 
characters after the end of the source file. This is probably because 
the inherently called cpp crashed before.)

The error does not occur with GCC 3.4. I've tried making 3.4 work for my 
programs for many days now, trying all ways to deal with the ABI 
incompatibilities that I could think of, but finally there remain 
problems on all ends (3.3.5 being the Debian system compiler), so that 
upgrading to GCC 3.4 is not an option.

Thus, I'm looking now for a way to work-around the cpp bug in 3.3.5, 
other than blindly guessing and trying to modify the source.

Any ideas?

I'd be very grateful for any hints.
Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,
Carsten
