I *think* I've tracked down the breakage to Cython's recent use of
__attribute__((optimize("Os"))) in the generated code. I have to
double check this but it looks like removing this attribute from
mtrand.c might fix things.
The Cython commit that introduced that change is this one:
https://github.com/cython/cython/commit/969765b6b9f22d5bae6206ff1ce0055f116bce94
So if my assumptions are correct, then I'm not sure if:
1) other things using Cython on OpenBSD/macppc could be broken too
(therefore cc'ing Cython MAINTAINER as fyi)
2) gcc on macppc could benefit from any changes or not.
