That's a fair point - that was on an old LFS AGP box I don't really use 
apart from booting now and again to see if anything regressed/got fixed 
for older cards.

I tested on a different box and I do get the same fail with a slightly 
less ancient -

gcc (GCC) 4.5.1

This is also LFS - I don't know if the way it is set up has anything to 
do with it.
