Um, no kidding.  That's why we're now doing 3.2.1.  See the draft
release notes; there are many x86-specific bug fixes.

Are you using those two patches, but otherwise using the current
gcc 3.2.1 branch?

If you can show that:

a) gcc 3.2.1-pre as of now miscompiles gcc 2.95.3;
b) you have a patch that fixes it;
c) the patch doesn't cause more regressions

I would push hard to include it, provided that other platforms aren't
broken.
