So turn off the optimizations?

gcc's code optimizations are broken, and should be avoided.  If you want
to break perl 5.6 you can do so with -O3 -march=pentiumpro (somehow I
suspect -O2 would have the same effect).

Besides, that just goes to show, it's not perl that's broken.. rather it's
the compiler.
