GCC 4.3 spent several hours compiling the attached program before I gave up.
I have no idea whether it would ever complete or not. All I know is that it
is spending an awful lot of time in var-tracking.c.
You need the following parameters to see this problem:
-g -O1 -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fexpensive-optimizations -fforce-addr
-fPIC
This is on x86_64, btw; I believe the program compiles on ia64, but I'm
not sure.
In the hours that GCC ran, it spent all its time in vt_find_locations():

Richi, do you think you could take a look?
