-O2 -fno-strength-reduce gives clean compile
So a reasonable guess is that strength reduction optimizations are
broken.
Well, it looks like these optimizations are also repsonsible for all my X
lossage. Xpm compiled with these crashes XEmacs, Xt compiled with these
just doesn't work at all. So I would say the problem is pretty comprehensive.
I would recommend anybody using cygwin 1.0 compiles with
-fno-strength-reduce for everything.
