I have a question that I have seem much discussion on, but that I haven't seen
resolved for GCC2.3.3.

When building GCC, I am unable to correctly compile enquire.  Taking someone's
advice about 2.3.1, I compiled enquire with the old GCC [1.39], which compiles
fine... BUT bombs in the program when attempting to report FLOAT properties.

When attempting to compile it with the "partial" GCC2.3.3, I get a "floating
point constant out of range in line 2307".  When compiling with the old GCC,
I get an "unexpected trap" when the program starts to report FLOAT Properties.
The program says something like "** Program got loss of precision trap!"


My system is:		486DX/33, 256K cache
			0.1 with 0.2.1 patchkit
			8 Megs o' RAM
			...

		Any ideas, clues... Appreciated.
