Similar results with -O3. No problem with -O. No problem on FreeBSD/i386 platform.

See the preprocessed (test.i) source code in "How-To-Repeat" section.

The sample code is a modified and simplified version of progs/infocomp.c from GNU ncurses-5.2 package, original code Copyright (c) 1998,1999,2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc. I noticed the bug as "configure && make" of ncurses-5.2 failed after installing gcc-3.1.

    int y = 0;
    switch (k) {
    case 0:

            if (p->a[l] == 1) {
                y = x[0].a[l];
                break;
            }
        return y != x[0].a[l];

            }

>Fix:
Using -O seems to work as a workaround.
