--- Comment #7 from Mikhail Teterin <mi@FreeBSD.org> ---

I'm confused... Is not the number of registers the same on the same process=
or
-- whether it is running in 32- or 64-bit mode? Even if they are named/acce=
ssed
differently?

Frankly, if optimization results in errors, then it is not an optimization.=
.. I
don't blame anyone here for the failure, just debating terminology :-)

If the otherwise valid code cannot be compiled (and/or linked), than it is a
compiler (and/or linker) bug, is not it? Would it make sense to bring this =
up
with LLVM-project directly?

I would've thought, with multimedia every CPU-instruction counts... Even if=
 the
hardware is fast enough for regular realtime playback, when performing
format-conversions, CPU is almost always the bottleneck even on the fastest
computers.

Perhaps, the option should carry a warning -- and be disabled by default on
i386 -- but disabling it altogether seems too drastic.
