Yes, threaded version by unconditionally defining USE_THREADED_CODE
(old patch version :).

Ok,  I'll try to find a way to get at -fno-crossjumping behavior. BTW,
man gcc suggests using -fno-gcse for programs that use computed gotos

I can [mail you|attach here] icc's output if you want to check the
overall code, it's about 1.9M with the code annotations.

I'm glad to see the same issue in Alexandre's output, not my fault then :D

The command line I used (after a clean build with gcc) was:
icc  -pthread -c -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -w  -I.
-IInclude -I./Include   -DPy_BUILD_CORE  -S -fcode-asm -fsource-asm
-dA Python/ceval.c

(same as with gcc, except for warnings and -fcode-asm -fsource-asm).
