I didn't know you were a gcc developer.

In any case, I've distilled this down to a small testcase and was working
on preparing a bug report for their gnats database.  The testcase is
about as simple as it gets:
    /* compile with -pg -fPIC -O */
    typedef struct { void *(*f)(void *, int); } T;
    void *g(T *t) { return t->f(t, 0); }
however, I checked 3.2.3 and this bug is fixed, so I guess I don't need
to do that.
