Yes, there are some problems in gcc's code generation.
The only fix I know of, recently, addressed another gcc problem on the
vax.
So I assume the code generated can sometimes still be buggy.
It appears to be when optimizing, by the way. The cases I know of have all
been helped if you turn off optimization and compile them.
