Public bug reported: A basic program runs fine if compiled with flag -O0 with gcc, but triggers a qemu abort when compiled with -O1 and run with icount: "qemu: fatal: IO on conditional branch instruction"
I also noticed the problem on C source like this with -O0: "int foo = *bar; bar++;" : OK "int foo = *bar++;" : FAIL (!!!)
