FWIW, the bug exposed by the sad loss of -fforce-addr ;) was covered again by Jakub's fix for PR rtl-optimization/32636. Or possibly fixed; that seems to have been a likely cause. Though it also indicates that the loss of -fforce-addr required another register, and the call-clobbered R9 (CRIS struct_value reg), seemed free. So, a code-quality regression. brgds, H-P
