Attached is a .debdiff against 4.4.4-4+powerpcspe4.5 as found in
debian-ports/pool-powerpcspe/main/g/gcc-4.4/ .

Not sure either.  Changed it to now apply pr44606.diff independent of
architecture (see the debdiff).

Just wondering: is it generally a bad idea to file bugs against
powerpcspe specific versions of packages with the debian BTS?

Changed the gcc version of the bug report to 4.4.4-4+powerpcspe4.5 .

David
