Just to add another data point, pgcc could not compile lyxfunc.C from
lyx-0.12.0 (should be the same as the klyx file) *or* the lyxfunc.C file
from any of the prerelease snapshots of lyx I tried (that was a few months
ago). 

Changing "-O2" to "-O0" allowed the compile to complete. I just tried it
today with "gcc version pgcc-2.91.09 980221 (gcc-2.8.0 release)" and
noticed that "-O1" doesn't work either, but "-O0" still does. 
 
Anyway, the upshot is that this is an old problem (hasn't been fixed by
any of the recent pgcc snapshots) that occurs with -O1 but not with -O0. 

The 60k lyxfunc.C file is characterized by large case statements but is
otherwise fairly standard. Hopefully someone out there can figure out
what's going on.
