Of course they are gcc bugs and should be duly reported. The question
is: should package x (working with -O2, not working with -O3
- -fspecially-optimised) be buggy (often FTBFS or RC) because of a gcc
problem when a really trivial workaround is available? I think not,
especially in the usual case where the code is not performance critical
at all.
