I don't have time to check this, but I have seen several reports on
gnu news groups that seem to indicate there are some optimization-
related bugs in GCC 2.8.0.  So I would suggest to report this to the
GCC maintainers ASAP.  It is possible that this is solved in 2.8.1, in
which case it is important for us to know (and port 2.8.1 as quickly
as possible).
