Good point  ... I had recently problems with the -O2 optimization with access to PCI interfaces.

An other point could be the configuration of the data segment ... if a string is overwriting the assigned space of a character array it is possible that this makes no visible problems with an older gcc. But with gcc 4.x the application will crash  ... happened to me recently. As you know: absent of failures doesn't mean your code is error free ...
