           Summary: -ffixed registers on powerpc optimized incorrectly
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.3
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: dmk at rscheme dot org
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org
 GCC build triplet: powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0
  GCC host triplet: powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0
GCC target triplet: powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0

GCC 3.3 on RS6000/PowerPC is incorrectly optimizing registers declared -ffixed,
which RScheme uses for virtual machine registers.  In particular, the compiler
does not recognize that a call an external procedure may clobber a register
which was declared -ffixed. I've reduced it to a small example which exhibits 
the problem.  With -O0, the problem is not exhibited.

This affects the default RScheme 0.7.3.3 build (ftp://ftp.rscheme.org/priv/b/rs-
0.7.3.3-b8.tar.gz)

I will attach the source and preprocessor output.  I included the portion
of the assembly output (below) that I believe is in error (see the ### comment)
