FWIW;
While looking at NetBSD's Dtrace enhancements I found that
this is caused[1] by a known bug in gcc. It was fixed in our base gcc
recently and MFC'd.
Last time I looked, upstream gcc hasn't fixed it, and I am trying
to get the illumos guys to review the NetBSD workaround before
we adopt it.
cheers,
Pedro.
