I would really like to see it fixed for 3.2, because it results in some fairly serious miscompilations.  I discussed it with a few people at the DevMeeting.

So why isn't this caught by any of the regression testing (testsuite) if it nothing above -O1 can be compiled? I assume you mean for your project?

I'm trying to understand how large of a problem this is. Ideally, we want everything we can to get fixed.. but since there is some confusion and debate on this bug, I'm thinking its not a quick or easy fix.
