 My apologies to that sparc64 maintainers.  The HP-UX solution is
 indeed inapplicable for COMPARE targets.
 
 I also now realize my mistake trying to analyze this problem.  I was
 running "cc1" with "-m64 -O2" whilst debuging in gdb, as these were
 the same flags I used to run gcc.  The problem is that gcc also
 passes  "-mcpu=v9" to cc1, and this flag is required to exhibit
 the problem.  It turns out that its the sparc64's constant pool
 handling that hides the optimization, rather than the optimization
 triggering and not being representable in the machine description.
 
 Sorry for the confusion.  You can tell I haven't done much work
 with gcc on sparc/solaris.
 
 Roger
