Hi.

-02 mean -O2 ?

Do you comile over NFS ? Did you try it to local-compile , or compile
on another system version ? It really
may be nfs or some system bug, if you compile on some old system (what kernel
version did you compile on ? They me differ on slack and redhat machines.)

I recently had a bug with gnu assembler, which could safely compile all
files a tried, but not the ones that consisted of any combination 
3 chars name+1 char suffix.
Really interesting bug too.

Bye                                                                   B.
