Alan is correct that the LO_SUM patch is very important for pic code.

This patch probably isn't in the tree
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-03/msg00524.html>.  I found it
in pic code using long longs.  Richard Kenner recently fixed aliasing
problems affecting both pic and non pic code
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-03/msg00725.html>.  It fixed
problems with insns being incorrectly deleted.  I know there is at least
one testsuite problem left for pic code that isn't there for non pic code.
This appears at -O3, so you might try reducing your opt level.
