Actually I hadn't committed that change.

The change which broke the compiler was just doing a `cvs import'
of gc6.0alpha6.  CVS sucks.  When you do a `cvs import', changes to files
which already exist get put on the vendor branch (`gc' in this case),
but for some reason if the current revision of that file is 1.1,
or if the file didn't previously exist, then cvs thinks that the
vendor branch is the main branch.  So the problem is that for
*some* files (the ones we haven't modified) the main branch was
picking up the gc6.0alpha6 copy, but for others it was still
picking up the gc5.2 copy (or our modification thereof).

I've just committed the merge, which should hopefully fix that problem.
