Yes. And most of the discussion (via the gentoo link) is about powerpc64-linux. So things were confusing, for me at least. > I am trying -O3 now.

For example, hppa-unknown-linux-gnu is not affected. None of the HPPA ABIs are affected by peculiarities of a particular PowerPC ABI. The bug report does noty give enough information to see what is really going on, so I have no further advice.
