I can confirm this behavior on Solaris 8/sparc 64 as well.
bash-2.03$ gcc -m64 -O2 test.c

y = 2.51673e-42
bash-2.03$ gcc -m64 -O3 test.c
bash-2.03$ ./a.out x = 12.3

Hmm. I hadn't bothered to try -O3 ... interesting that it works correctly again at that level.
-O3 works on my box too
Anyway, this proves that it is an upstream gcc bug and not something OpenBSD broke.
I just tried on solaris9 with gcc 3.4.2 - seems the bug is fixed in this version. Unfortunably it is quite problematic to change the compiler at least on OpenBSD gcc 3.3.2 is quite heavily modified on that platform and switching the base system compiler might screw a boatload of other tools.
The actual recommendation I got from the OpenBSD-folks was to add "-mfaster-structs" to the compiler flags with seems to work around the issue - I'm currently doing a full build to verify that though ...
