There are various constraints on the use of unit-at-a-time:
 - i386 uses no-unit-at-a-time for pre-4.0 (not 4.3)
 - x86_64 uses unit-at-a-time always

Uli reported a crash on x86_64 with gcc 4.1.2 with unit-at-a-time,
resulting in commit c0a18111e571138747a98af18b3a2124df56a0d1

Ingo reported a gcc internal error with gcc 4.3 with no-unit-at-a-timem,
resulting in 22eecde2f9034764a3fd095eecfa3adfb8ec9a98

Benny Halevy is seeing extern inlines not resolved with gcc 4.3 with
no-unit-at-a-time

This patch reintroduces unit-at-a-time for gcc >= 4.0, bringing back the
possibility of Uli's crash.  If that happens, we'll debug it.

I started seeing both the internal compiler errors and unresolved
inlines on Fedora 9.  This patch fixes both problems, without so far
reintroducing the crash reported by Uli.

commit 4f81c5350b44bcc501ab6f8a089b16d064b4d2f6 upstream

There are various constraints on the use of unit-at-a-time:
 - i386 uses no-unit-at-a-time for pre-4.0 (not 4.3)
 - x86_64 uses unit-at-a-time always

Uli reported a crash on x86_64 with gcc 4.1.2 with unit-at-a-time,
resulting in commit c0a18111e571138747a98af18b3a2124df56a0d1

Ingo reported a gcc internal error with gcc 4.3 with no-unit-at-a-timem,
resulting in 22eecde2f9034764a3fd095eecfa3adfb8ec9a98
