This sounds familiar. Another project I have been working on is
qualifying gcc 2.7.2 for HP-PA on a large software project. gcc (with -O)
seems to be extremely sensitive to improperly initialized char *foo = NULL
and conditional statements checking unused variables early in the code.
(Generally, before entering a loop where the variable is actually set).
