This fortran program fails for both x86_64 and powerpc when an appropriate veclibabi is specified that includes support for optimizing a pow invocation to V2DF variables.
On the x86_64 you need to use: -O3 -march=core2 -mavx -ffast-math -mveclibabi=svml On the powerpc you need to use: -O3 -mcpu=power7 -ffast-math -mveclibabi=mass Here is the debugger trace: Current directory is /home/meissner/fsf-build-x86_64/trunk/gcc/ GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora (7.1-34.fc13) Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
