Yes. gcc-3.X without Brad's patch (really only one line
changed in gcc/reload1.c) miscompiles src/unicode.c in Allegro, when
compiled using -fomit-frame-pointer. The same bug (AFAIK) causes ICE when
compiling 8139too.c in Linux kernel (which is one of most often
reported trouble with gcc-3.0.X)

At least I built Allegro-3.9.40 with my latest binaries of gcc-3.0.3
20011115 without problems (no more -fomit-frame-pointer related crashes)
