Hi Klaus,

I believe this is due to a bug in GCC which has been fixed upstream in
4.8.  I believe it will be back ported to 4.7 in the next few days.

For reference:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53708

We encountered this on PowerPC as well.

Ryan, thank you for this hint.

I compiled with -O3 and gcc version 4.6.4 20121102.

So I hope it will be fixed in gcc-4.6 as well.

I just verified it, with -02 the bug also shows up.

Is except for this bug gcc-4.7 recommended/required for libc?
