Thanks for your information.

I don't know what was broken in gcc's complex data support.  I played a 
bit. It looks like normal operators are okay but not for math functions.
Is this the reason why gcc's __complex__ data support is considered a 
way of broken?  Do you know a bit more detail about what are "broken"?

Thanks.
