Yes, we know. But that is (or rather must be) completely unrelated
to libg++ problems. Those optimisation of asm statements doesn't
have very much relation with libg++, and whenever gcc is fixed to
do what the documentation says (and what the old behaviour was), we
will probably still have to upgrade libg++.

Rather: due to sudden optimisation in places where the documenation
(apparently unintentionally) says no optimisation will be done.

gcc-2.8.0 is in experimental at the moment
