I did a quick test, and it appears to fix the gtkclist/ctree bug that's been
around forever (-O2 -fPIC on functions with way too many arguments got a
register clobbered early). Happy happy joy joy! This means that once the gtk+
deb gets rebuilt with the new compiler, I can starting using the .debs instead
of having to build my own..

Mind you, the only problem I ever saw was that a clist or ctree would crash
(including anything derived from them, such as the file selection widget). I
haven't been able to make my X server crash. (well, at least not my linux X
server.. can't say the same for Solaris). But I haven't run Enlightenment very
much.

pleased,
