The attached file that is derived from the spec 2006 benchmark suite fails if you compile it with minimal optimization and -g. If I remove the -g option, it compiles fine.
I initially noticed this on powerpc64-linux-gnu, but it looked like a machine independent bug, so I tried it on a x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu system.
