+A code-generation bug afflicts
+Intel x86 targets when @samp{-O2} is specified
+compiling, for example, an old version of
+the @samp{DNRM2} routine.
+The x87 coprocessor stack is being somewhat
+mismanaged in cases where assigned @code{GOTO}
+and @code{ASSIGN} are involved.
+
+Version 0.5.21 of @code{g77} contains an initial
+effort to fix the problem, but this effort is
+incomplete, and a more complete fix is planned
+for the next release.
