Re: OpenBSD/Sparc status

The answer is: it's a gcc bug.  The attached program should print
x = 12.3
y = 12.3

but if compiled with -O or -O2 on Stefan's machine, I get garbage:

$ gcc -O  ftest.c
$ ./a.out
x = 12.3
y = 1.47203e-39
$ gcc -v

#include 

float
returnfloat(float *x)
{return *x;
}

int
main()
{float x = 12.3;union {	float f;	char *t;} y;
y.f = returnfloat(&x);
printf("x = %g\n", x);printf("y = %g\n", y.f);
return 0;
}
