I think gcc _used_ to generate bad code on SPARC if you set any optimisation. We tested it on Sol7 with gcc 2.95 more than a year ago, and tried various settings. -O2 worked, but other items were really bad. Some of them would pass regression but cause strange behaviour, random coredumps, &c. A little digging demonstrated that anything beyond -O2 just didn't work for gcc at the time.
