At a glance, this patch looks okay. However, since this issue does not
represent a regression from 7.1 I'm not exactly in favour of installing it
now. We want to get a release out, so I think we need to get stricter in
those matters. And this patch is not exactly trivial.

Yeah, if you use GCC with optimization on SunOS 4 then the issue should be
moot because the GCC version is used. However, I don't think that's the
setup in question.
This is actually a good situation to show that configuring with one kind
of compiler flag and building with another is not reliable, even if it's
only the optimization level.
