With 4.6.3, the -DNAIL_REGS code regresses very much (IRA ...), the -UNAIL_REGS code is nearly perfect but less good than 4.4/4.5 (if you only consider grep esp serpent.s | wc -l). Same behavior with 4.7.2. Trunk got somewhat worse with -UNAIL_REGS but better with -DNAIL_REGS (at -O2): -UNAIL_REGS -DNAIL_REGS 4.5.4 3 3 4.6.3 15 101 4.7.2 15 93 4.8.0 23 70 The most important thing to fix is the -UNAIL_REGS case of course. A regression for that from 4.4/4.5.
