: I did just that (added -fno-tree-vrp to CFLAGS) after it was found
: that gcc-4.2 had the optimizer bug, and have continued to build my

: when built with a plain -O2). I had suggested to make -fno-tree-vrp
: the default for our CC (could be overridden on the command line, but
: would allow to use all -O levels without being hit by the compiler
: bug; but it appears that nobody else liked the idea at that time, 
: i.e. no response at all ...).

Actually, it was added to the tree and then backed out because it
broke the upgrade path.
