But then, you did so too months ago, when the GCC 4.1 development cycle was still in stage1/stage2. Nocona has been around for a very long time already (I have a Prescott-T myself which is going to celebrate its second birthday soon), so you've had plenty of time to make -O2 produce decent code for Nocona, really. You just didn't do that. What's that what my professor always said... Ah yes, "Poor planning by you does not constitute an emergency for me". > The last thing I want to see is the instability on IA32. I can't > guarantee it won't happen.

You still have to fix a few open regressions against 4.2 caused by this patch, and 4.2 has not even received as much testing as 4.1 so it is almost certain that there are going to be more bugs that your patch causes or will expose.
