 reportedly crashes when compiling FFTW for MIPS;
the workaround is to compile the file it crashes on
(<code>t2_64.c</code>) with a lower optimization level.  
<p>
<code>gcc</code> versions 4.1.2 to 4.2.0 for x86 reportedly miscompile
FFTW 3.1's test program, causing <code>make check</code> to crash (<code>gcc</code> bug #26528).  The bug was reportedly fixed in
<code>gcc</code> version 4.2.1 and later.  A workaround is to compile
<code>libbench2/verify-lib.c</code> without optimization.
