GCC was built with itself. The problem occurs when the GC is built with 
or without -O, and both with mainline and 3.1 branch.

The test case certainly used to work, but I don't know if I ever tried 
it since thread local alloc was turned on.

Its a 650Mhz mobile Pentium 3, redhat kernel 2.4.9-13, redhat 
glibc-2.2.4-19.3. I can try it on some other machines later to be sure.
