Hi,
PR 8502 looks quite severe to me:
It a regression from 3.0.x on the branch where wrong assember code is
generated. However, this problem doesn't occur on mainline.
Could somebody please have a look at it to decide whether it has to
be fixed for the branch or not?

I haven't checked whether this patch would also fix PR 8502
or if PR 8502 has a different reason.

I would appreciate having GCC 3.2.2!
