Old Synopsis: compiles wrong code but executable SEGV with -freg-struct-return
New Synopsis: [3.2/3.3 regression] miscompilation with -freg-struct-return

State-Changed-Why:
    Confirmed with 3.2.2 and 3.3. It works with 3.0 and 
    present mainline. However, I admit that I am unclear 
    about whether this is an ABI-incompatible switch: does
    one need to recompile libstdc++ when one wants to use it?
    The docs are not entirely clear about this.
    
    At any rate, here's a backtrace of where the program
    crashes:
    #0  std::string::_M_iend() const (this=0x19)

    Obviously, the this pointer in frame 0 is botched up.
