This was solely using gcc. I have noticed the same issue with gcc on
OpenBSD on UltraSparc/Sparc64, which is why I suspect it's anything
other than amd64/x86. I haven't tested with Linux or another OS on
non-amd64/x86 platforms. The reg, fast, and asm_fast grades are broken
(with compiler errors during the build process), while none and jump
work.
