It is not safe to make such assumptions.

There was a code generation bug in egcs-1.0.3 that was often triggered
by the inline pow function from glibc.  This was a bug in the compiler,
not a bug in the asm.  It was fixed for egcs-1.1.

Just because two bugs may seem to have certain characteristics in common
does not mean they are the same problem.  You have to actually debug
the problem to be sure.
