Thats -fno-schedule-insns
Jan,
P.S. this will (hopefully) be in the PROBLEMS file in the release:
** General
+*** Don't use -O2 with gcc 2.8.1 and egcs 1.0 under SPARC architectures
+without also using `-fno-schedule-insns'.
+
+gcc will generate incorrect code otherwise, typically resulting in
+crashes in the function skip-syntax-backward.
