gcc crash

[Kjeld Borch Egevang <kjelde@mips.com>]

When I compile the following function with "gcc -O2" the compiler crashes.
Is this a known problem?

static float sp_f2l(float x)
{
    long l, *xl;
    float y;

    xl = (void *)&y;
    l = x;
    *xl = l;
    return y;
}

I use gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-97.2)
