I have had major problems compiling windows code using mssdk headers
using pgcc (1.0.1 I think). The problem was that it was pushing two
arguments to TranslateMessage() and DispatchMessage(), and they only
take one argument. This lead to a leak of 8 bytes of stack space per
message, which causes a mysterious crash a few minutes after starting
the program (due to stack overflow).

Also, -O6 does enable unstable optimizations. Just read the pgcc faq and
see the options labelled as unstable and compare it to the options
enabled with -O6

The best commandline for stability is -O6 -fno-loop-after-global
-fno-combine-222 -fno-opt-reg-stack -fno-peep-spills

although I still had the problem explained above with these options.
