>Description:
	When -O2 is applied, the attach program generates incorrect output.
This test case is extracted from a miscompilation in the linux kernel. 
The code does a structure copy then an assignment to a member of the 
structure. At -O2 (-O1 -fschedule-insns) the assignment is moved before
the structure copy, and subsequently gets clobbered.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the following piece of code with gcc-3.2 -O2

/*
** Test to reproduce storing into a substructure getting
** clobbered by a structure copy.
**
** Compile with: gcc -O2 -o pty_test pty_test.c

>Fix:
	putting a reorder barrier (e.g. asm("")) before the store to 
    c_lflag will workaround the bug
