I don't think so.
The associativity of operator ^= is Right to Left.

I have build the code with other compiler.
gcc 3.x is OK.
Sun cc is OK.
Microsoft VC is OK.

If there isn't any array, it's also OK when use gcc4 build.
main()
{
 int a = 1, b = 2;
 a ^= b ^= a ^= b;
 printf("a=%d b=%d\n", a, b);
}

[expected result]: a=2 b=1
[actual result]: a=2 b=1

So, I guess, the defect associated with the gcc4 new feature which optimized
array access.
