>Description:
Looking at the assembly listing generated by gcc it seems that
__attributed__((pure)) is ignored on PowerPC AIX, while the same code
works on Intel Linux.  The sample code below calls foo twice on AIX
but only once on Linux.
>How-To-Repeat:
int foo(int) __attribute__((pure));

int
twice_foo(int i)
{
    return foo(i) + foo(i);
}
