I have learned the hard way that the "-fomit-frame-pointer" compiler switch 
cannot be used when compiling C++ source files.  Has anyone seen any 
problems when using this switch to compile C files?

Maybe I should give some background.  With either the compiler that shipped 
with Seawolf or the subsequently-released update, C++ code does not build 
correctly when this switch is used.  The source may not compile (e.g. 
internal compiler error when building Mozilla 0.9.2) or it may compile but 
not run correctly (runtime faults when running in KDE after rebuilding 
kdelibs).  Yes, I've submitted this to Bugzilla (#41794, submitted in May).

Anyway, I have learned to have zero confidence in RedHat's compiler when 
"-fomit-frame-pointer" is used on C++ code, and I've been too spooked by my 
experiences to try it on plain old C code.  Can anyone give a testimonial 
that "-fomit-frame-pointer" will correctly compile C code?

Thanks.
