No, given a vague description like "it doesn't seem to care much for ...",
it's almost guaranteed that no-one will be able to help you.
If you think there is a bug, then submit a bug report (after
carefully reading the instructions in the gcc manual on how to submit
bug reports).  Without some example code and a clearer description
of exactly what you think is wrong, there's not much anyone can do.
