I find it pretty scary to work around compiler bugs like this. Who knows 
what other code it miscompiles. Can you reduce fsm_search_avail into a 
small stand-alone test program, and file a bug report with the compiler 
vendor?

BTW, why does this work on warthog buildfarm member? Different compiler 
version?
