AFAIK, -fschedule-insns is not enabled with -O. And since -O is 
equivalent to -O1, those options are all the same.

I've not used CLN on SPARC for a long time. But when I did, it was with 
CLN 3.1.1 and it passed the testsuite. Could you, please, try that 
compiler and tell us if it passes the testsuite? If it does, then we 
know for sure that GCC is to blame.
