I did just that (added -fno-tree-vrp to CFLAGS) after it was found
that gcc-4.2 had the optimizer bug, and have continued to build my
system with -O2 (or other optimization levels as required). This 
seems to work just fine (no problems with ports that are not working
when built with a plain -O2). I had suggested to make -fno-tree-vrp
the default for our CC (could be overridden on the command line, but
would allow to use all -O levels without being hit by the compiler
bug; but it appears that nobody else liked the idea at that time, 
i.e. no response at all ...).
