I realize it is a bit late for this. If it is too late for gcc-3.3.5
that is OK. I can re-propose this for gcc-3.3.6.
I have a patch to fix an IA-64 linux kernel miscompilation problem.
This is PR 17455. I've added the patch to the gcc-3.4 branch and
mainline already. This isn't a regression, but it is fairly serious as
it is a linux kernel miscompile. The problem can be worked around by
compiling the kernel with -fno-optimize-sibcalls. The patch is pretty
safe, as it only affects kernel functions with the syscall_linkage
attribute, and all it does is disable sibcall optimizations for those
functions.
I haven't yet tested the patch with gcc-3.3.x. I am starting that
testing now.
