Not my experience.  It compiles all of Crafty just fine, and the profile-based
optimizations seem to work well also.  As I said, it has also compiled many
serious applications run on my cluster with no problems at all.  I should add
I have only used version 6.0 and the new version 7.0.  I did not try any
earlier versions...

The codes here are both integer-based and FP-based, and even combinations, so
those don't seem to be an issue any longer...

If you do unsafe aliasing and such, it might have a problem, but nobody here
writes that kind of code...
