I have been having occaisonal problems with gcc-2.7.2.1 on the alpha where
it makes bad register allocation choices, leading to broken code.  I don't
think anything in our build tickles this bug but XFree86 certainly does.

I tracked down a set of patches from RedHat 5.0 which fix the problem but
they are for gcc-2.7.2.3.  I am not sure how to go about committing this.  
I have patched my tree up to 2.7.2.3 and added the RedHat patches but it
really needs someone (hopefully not me) to do a proper import of 2.7.2.3.
