I'm a bit puzzled how to set CFLAGS for a single file in Makefile.am. 
Any example I can follow? Otherwise I'd simply reduce the optimization 
level to -01 for ia64 in general till this bug is fixed.

As an alternative, someone could rewrite the code in question not to 
trigger the ICE.

The gjdoc fixes have been merged in into kaffe's CVS head, works fine 
for me. Very speedy too :)
