Wow, I am in awe of Jeff Law at the moment :-). I am glad they found the issue and are fixing it.

I was helping a high school student learn how compilers work and we started by opening up GCC and I was astonished at just how mindbogglingly complex it had become. We closed that down and opened up the delightful Bellard "Tiny C"[1] which was comprehensible at the level where this student was working. We created a new 'bool' type for that compiler.
