signal handerl and -fno-optimize-sibling-calls

[Hiroshi SAKURAI]

Hi,

I'm using NetBSD3.0 and gcc3.3.3.

Following program exits when it receives SIGWINCH signal
if built with -foptimize-sibling-calls.

       $ gcc -Wall -foptimize-sibling-calls -g a.c
       $ ./a.out &
       [1] 15605
       $ pkill -WINCH a.out
       [1]+ Done       ./a.out

If built without -foptimize-sibling-calls, it does not exit when
receiving SIGWINCH.

       $ gcc -Wall -g a.c
       $ ./a.out &
       [1] 15605
       $ pkill -WINCH a.out
       $

With -foptimize-sibling-calls, a.out ended up calling setcontext(0) and exits.

Is this a bug of gcc or this optimization flag cannot be used to
compile signal handler?

Here's a output of uname and gcc -v.

I'm not a member of the list so please CC: me.

Thanks.
