Greetings!  We are investigating gcc sibling call optimization in GCL
(a lisp system compiling to C).  A few questions arise:

1) I notice that the optimization is apparently disabled when the call
   is made through a pointer variable.  Is this a permanent
   limitation?


The limitation was fixed on x86 for 3.4.0.  For PPC the limitation is
still there. For other targets I do not know.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski
