    Newer gcc are even worse for vax in our experience, which made us

 I see.
 
    Please try to reproduce the problem with a modern gcc and file a bug
    report upstream - or let us know which newer version fixes it.
 
 I tried gcc 4.7.2, and it also generates bad code.  It is probably a bug
 in the vax port.
 
 (I cannot report this to GCC, as they require me to create an account.
 I will not.  They bug reports mailing list seem dead.)
 
    We are likely to upgrade gcc for all arches where it works to 4.7.x some=
 time
    soon.
 
 Good that you keep up with GCC releases!
