The strength reduce problems on Intel and other platforms with small
register sets have not been fixed. The example program that demonstrates the
bug changes in subtle ways from release to release but it isn't fixed yet.
I'd add -fno-strength-reduce if you just HAVE to use -O2. I've been bitten
by the bug too many times so I stick with -O for everything.
