I don't really know how to answer a question like that.  We can answer
specific questions, and we can point you at documentation.  But for a
general question like how to debug your code, well, you just have to
debug it.  Make sure you read the gcc internals manual at
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint ; it's really pretty good about
this kind of backend stuff.
