It's not a fix. You just turned off a pile of optimisations; you don't seem to have tried to work out what the real bug is. You can't prove that a bug in the compiler is gone just because it now succeeds on a test case where it previously failed.

But the whole regparm thing is just an optimisation in itself. You are suggesting that many optimisations should be disabled just so that this single one doesn't fail in a particular case.
