There were various problems and new problems / bugs come up periodically.
It is <I>not a single bug/problem</I>. We just see various bugreports, mostly
gcc internal bugs, compiler syntax errors in source or bad code compiled. They
all are solved using different version of gcc. I understand that gcc 2.96
has different default optimization flags and they conflicts with our inline

I've talked one of gcc maintainers, and he told me that gcc 2.96 and 3.x
supports intel asm syntax, and it caused the pipe bug. But it was a bug,
because gcc silently, without any warning, ignored the whole asm block.
*They* have fixed that, now it prints warning and doesn't skip the block.

No. You are wrong!
Several projects (mainly which source contains high optimized inline asm code)
had problems with gcc 2.96. For example: avifile, MESA / DRI, ffmpeg.
But other projects already workarounded gcc bugs (changed code which
triggered compiler bugs) so they work for now.

It only means that you are lucky, until you find a problem. But don't forget the
