Package: gcc-4.1
Version: 4.1.0-2
Severity: normal

Trying to write an argument-passing tail call to another function
doesn't seem to get optimized with -foptimize-sibling-calls no matter
which other optimization options I turn on.  Example, to be run
through [gcc -foptimize-sibling-calls -O9 -S]:

  extern int foo(int x);
  int bar(void) { return foo(32); }

On i386 this compiles to

        pushl   %ebp
        movl    %esp, %ebp
        subl    $8, %esp
        movl    $32, (%esp)
        call    foo
        leave
        ret

which doesn't correctly convert the call to foo into a tail call.
