The evidence:

What compiler should XEmacs be built with? gcc -g -O3
-Wall -Wno-switch
..
skip-syntax-backward("w_")
The conclusion (from PROBLEMS) is:
*** 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.
