Okay.  If we're going to leave the compiler behavior as-is, I'd like
eventually to address the testsuite failure in the testcase somehow.
(After the 4.1.2 release at this point.)  It also affects 4.2/mainline.

What I need to work out is what combinations of target and flags this
problem occurs under.  E.g. is this problem sparc-solaris only or does it
occur on any target using pic?  Or is it some subset of all platforms?
What about targets that default to pic without any extra flags?  Etc.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
