Which version(s) of gcc do you use for compiling the bytecode
interpreter?  Is it the same version on all machines?

The reason I'm asking is that some versions of gcc are known to
generate poor code for threaded interpreters, e.g. gcc 3.2 generates
inferior code compared to gcc 2.95.  For more info, google for
"Anton Ertl gcc".
