Yes, the gcc-4.2 is known to be broken for x86_64 as you describe above (or in fact it miscompiles a few other things, too). Interestingly llvm-gcc-4.2 suffers from the same problem. That is the reason why the 64-bit binaries are currently not offered. Switching to gcc-4.0 breaks other things on other targets, so there is no universal (and maintainable) solution that I'm aware of.
Perhaps we could all file an enhancement bug request to release an updated version of the compiler. Do Apple know that llvm-gcc is affected? Bill
