Well, after all, it's still a problem with the m68k toolchain and
not with a package itself. Right? As I gathered from the
abovementioned thread there is nothing I can do except for
waiting for a new gcc release.

That's what I'd like to find out, actually.

Ok.

Unfortunately I am not a DD and I don't have access to any m68k
box or else I would have certainly tried to check this out by
myself rather than pestering this list.

Ok. Thanks.

I would love to do so. But - as already said - I don't have
access to any appropriate machine. And I don't want to upload a
new DCMTK release with -O2 (or ask my sponsor to do so), as this
would unnecessarily force rebuilds on all the other archs as
well ...
