Okay folks, 

This is the scoop. 

For the benefit of those which don't have access to the latest XFree86 release you can
download the file from ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/bug.c

------------------------------

Without -O or -O2 the program compiles okay.

gcc -c bug.c


According to Peter, the ports/lang/gcc-devel (the current snapshot)  appears to 
compile this program fine -- that is the compiler bug has been fixed.

So there appears to be two solutions to get around this problem:

1. compile without -O 
or 
2.  installed the latest snapshot of gcc.

        Take Care Guys
