There have been many changes all over the place in the compiler between the 
3.2.x series and the 3.3.x series, which can potentially affect every single 
line of the asm ouput. So this makes no sense to try to pinpoint one.

Try to identify the miscompilation by recompiling individual files with -O0. 
Then try to isolate the function in the file and recompile it with 
--save-temps to generate a preprocessed testcase.
