For GCC to have the same kind of optimization, it will have to be later. The 
internal
architecture of GCC is changing for 4.0.x (the next series after 3.4.x). And 
perhaps it might
allow such an optimization to be written in the future.

Are you talking about the __do_copy_data (IIRC) identifier? If so, this is a 
known issue. The fix
actually needs to be done in gcc.
