Optimization bug

[Phillip Ezolt]

Hi,	
	I was working on porting the upcoming SPEC CPU99 benchmark suite to
Alpha/Linux and I stumbled on the following compiler bug. 

First, it is only appearant when compiling with optimizations.
(Since we are going for high-power numbers we NEED to use optimizations)

-O..-O4 breaks compilation.

This file is part of "perl" (pp.c), so I am kind of surprised that nobody
else has jumped up screaming.  

The Computer is an alpha ev5 running Redhat linux 5.1.  Egcs version is 1.1b.

And the corresponding pp.i file:
# 1 "pp.c"

static unsigned long seed(void)
{
    unsigned long u;
    u = getpid();
    u = 26107 * (unsigned long)&u;
    return u;
}

If you need any more info (Or need me to test something out..) feel free to contact me. 

Thanks,
