I realize it is a bit late for this.  If it is too late for gcc-3.3.5 
that is OK.  I can re-propose this for gcc-3.3.6.

I have a patch to fix an IA-64 linux kernel miscompilation problem. 
This is PR 17455.  I've added the patch to the gcc-3.4 branch and 
mainline already.  This isn't a regression, but it is fairly serious as 
it is a linux kernel miscompile.  The problem can be worked around by 
compiling the kernel with -fno-optimize-sibcalls.  The patch is pretty 
safe, as it only affects kernel functions with the syscall_linkage 
attribute, and all it does is disable sibcall optimizations for those 
functions.

I haven't yet tested the patch with gcc-3.3.x.  I am starting that 
testing now.
