Is it possible to tell a bit more about the problem, and how is it
solved?  Perhaps even a short test case, before and after the change?

Also, do the original problems affect Solaris alone, or are they
common to all gcc/x86-based architectures?

It's quite difficult to judge a large patch for two different problems
without having a more-or-less clear notion of the issues involved.

Thanks.
