I'm still suffering from the invalid code generation issue, though
testing has been delayed a bit due to the bootstrap failure of tree-ssa
on SPARC, the fixinc regression on Solaris (fixed on mainline and waiting
for the next merger from mainline), and the recent breakage of mainline.
Only one of these is actually closely related to tree-ssa, but testing
GCC with real-world appliations is getting a bit tought these days,
overall. :-(
In a sense, tree-ssa is now suffering from mainline being unstable and
partly broken, where the original issue was to avoid tree-ssa making
mainline unstable.

DLV, I believe, has in the last six years lead to about 200+ bug reports
for GCC. :-/
