I have been collecting bug reports for the GNU C compiler since April
1988, and have about 5 megabytes squirreled away.  I have also been
collecting bug reports for the GNU C++ compiler since December 1988, and
have about 2.5 megabytes squirreled away.

I've been saving bug reports in the hope that either I would eventually
find the time to construct a test suite, or that someone else would
step forward.  There seems to be a bit of interest in this area now,
hence this posting.  Two things:

1) I would be interested in putting together a compiler test suite.
   If anyone is working on this, and would like some help, please
   contact me.

2) If you would like a copy of the bug reports I have saved, send me
   e-mail.  You should probably send e-mail to me, *not* to the GNU
   mailing lists.  Don't bother contacting me about bug report copies
   unless you are seriously working on a test suite which you intend to
   make freely distributable -- it is going to be a hassle getting this
   stuff to you.
