Hi,

well, given I never experienced an issue, and I use T2 quite heavily on server 
and desktops, I have the feeling this only affects i486 and/or the latest 
version of gcc.

Maybe we should better get the bug really unccovered and fixed instead of 
hiding it by disabling optimizations for everyone and thus potentially making 
some desktop apps on latest greater AMD high end workstations CPUs notable 
slower (for some gimp or firefox use case), …

I actually thought my “a little more than a 586” Transmeta Crusoe is aging ;-) 
but nice to see people are still using 486 class CPUs.
I know the Vortex86 - I considered getting a sample or two, e.g. the 
http://www.86duino.com/?page_id=11 but did not yet got one yet.

I suggest working with the gcc/glib guys to figure out what the real cause of 
the issue is. Maybe you end up getting a gcc ChangeLog entry while doing so :-)

Maybe you can find a minute or two to compile a hardware page to list your 
vortex86 board, somewhere here may be suitable:

        http://t2-project.org/hardware/embedded/

If you just compile the info an a text email I can format the HTML around and 
upload it, …

Greetings from Berlin,
        René
