Re: [V21.4] "clever" compilers sometimes opt away too much.

Thank you, but I agree with Daryl Okahata's assessment if
gcc-3.4.2
with certain aggressive optimizations requires code like this, that's
a bug in the compiler and we should advise users not to use that
compiler with a particular set of options (perhaps on a particular
platform).
I have not verified this, but the OP commented that the compiler is
buggy even without any optimization flags (even though the subject line
implies otherwise). If so, then perhaps configure.in should be modified
to disallow building with that compiler.
