Actually, I tell a lie. With the bugfix, this installed file:
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/install-tools/macro_list
contains the following instead of being zero byte in size:
i386
linux
unix
but as I said, fixincludes is disabled during the gcc build and I don't know
of anyone who has ever used the "installed" copy of fixincludes so I'm
sticking with the view that the bug is harmless. (The fix is installed on
the branches so we'll pick it up if/when 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 arrives).
