Actually this is an Opteron system so I'm using the x86 and x86-64 stuff from
gcc 3.3 provided by AMD.
I've been away from the gcc world for quite some time so I'm not sure how
problem reports are being handled these days or how to search the database. (I
am of course more than willing to learn!) There is a comment in the
configuration file for x86 linux that has the following in it:
-----<BEGIN EXCERPT config/ia32-linux-gcc.cfg>-----
...
252.eon=default=default=default:
EXTRA_CXXFLAGS=-DHAS_ERRLIST
OPTIMIZE=-O0
# Optimization level -g or -O0 must be used to obtain
# a valid reference run using the default compilers on
# the RedHat 5.2 distribution for Intel
# the RedHat 6.0 distribution for Intel
# the Suse 6.1 distribution for Intel
# if GCC 2.95.1 or later is used the the suggested default
# optimization level of -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer may be used
# by commenting out the line OPTIMIZE=-O0 in the stanza for 252.eon above.
...
-----<END EXCERPT config/ia32-linux-gcc.cfg>-----
As I mentioned in my first message, using -O3 -m64 works fine, but I can't use
anything other than -O0 with -m32. The code does compile, it just generates
invalid results. It looks like some bad floating point optimizations have been
done. I'll run this on a different CPU just to be sure.
