Heh, did PASemi sell boxes? Interesting, I'll have to read up on my history.

Yeah, it's too bad the link above doesn't mention gcc version.

The gcc bugreport mentions fixing the bug in
7563dc64585324f443f5ac107eb6d89ee813a2d2, not sure how to check what
release version of gcc that is? (Do they tag releases?)

Nick, do you have a test case or more context about this still being
an issue in gcc 4.8? (maybe I should wait for your patch series?)
