This problem is due to a bug in -finline-functions which of course is
enabled with -O6. Perhaps the easiest way around this bug is to
toss in -fno-inline-functions. This seems to be the easiest way
to solve the problem. I'm sure their are some other bugs floating
around in pgcc, but its a beta release...so what can ya expect...
