-O instead of -O2 is a work-around that will work. My (backported)
bugzilla patch seems to work for me (Galeon still crashes occasionally
and non-reproducibly, but not more than on an i386 machine...), but is
not guaranteed to catch all occurrences of the problem: see
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11376#c38 .

Note: The upstream log mentions gcc bugs thrown is *as* *well*:

 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22591
 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23192

These are fixed in gcc 4.0.2, which we have.


Ubuntu compiles with -fno-strict-aliasing. On all platforms, I
presume. And my amd64-using neighbour is not having particular
problems. This actually makes a lot of sense since the bug in Mozilla
that triggers all this is an aliasing violation...
