What is the magic incantation to make perl compile with gcc (version 1.36.93)?
I have tried the following options, both of which result in a perl which
dumps core running the TEST program.

	gcc -O -fstrength-reduce
	gcc -O -fstrength-reduce -fpcc-struct-return

it works fine when compiled with cc -O

I am running on a Sun 4/280, SunOS 4.0.3, and I just got patchlevel 18.

btw, Configure claims that cc on this machine can cast a negative float to
unsigned, despite the note in the patch description.

thanks for any help.
