Bug description:
  This autoconf test works on x86, but appears to fail on ARM when built
  with optimisation.  It worked fine with gcc-4.6, and fails with 4.7.
  Versions here were all from current saucy:

  gcc-4.6: 4.6.4-3ubuntu1
  gcc-4.7: 4.7.3-6ubuntu1
  gcc-4.8: 4.8.1-7ubuntu1

  (saucy-kde)adconrad at shiva:~/librep-0.90.2$ gcc-4.6 -o conftest -O2 stack.c
  (saucy-kde)adconrad at shiva:~/librep-0.90.2$ ./conftest ; echo $?
  0
  (saucy-kde)adconrad at shiva:~/librep-0.90.2$ gcc-4.7 -o conftest -O2 stack.c
  (saucy-kde)adconrad at shiva:~/librep-0.90.2$ ./conftest ; echo $?
  1
  (saucy-kde)adconrad at shiva:~/librep-0.90.2$ gcc-4.8 -o conftest -O2 stack.c
  (saucy-kde)adconrad at shiva:~/librep-0.90.2$ ./conftest ; echo $?
  1
  (saucy-kde)adconrad at shiva:~/librep-0.90.2$ gcc-4.8 -o conftest -O1 stack.c
  (saucy-kde)adconrad at shiva:~/librep-0.90.2$ ./conftest ; echo $?

  (saucy-kde)adconrad at shiva:~/librep-0.90.2$ gcc-4.8 -o conftest -O0 stack.c
  (saucy-kde)adconrad at shiva:~/librep-0.90.2$ ./conftest ; echo $?
  0
  (saucy-kde)adconrad at shiva:~/librep-0.90.2$ cat stack.c 
  #include <stdlib.h>

  void inner (char *foo) {
    char bar;
    exit (!(foo >= &bar));
  }

  void main () {
    char foo;
    inner (&foo);
  }
