We recently hit a similar problem on ppc where the compiler couldn't
satisfy an "i" when it was wrapped in an function and optimisations
were disabled. The fix[1] was to change the function signature so that
it's arguments were explicitly const. I don't know enough about gcc to
tell if that behaviour is arch specific or not, but it's worth trying.
