I accept the risk of looking pretentious now, but I believe that the
problem might most probably be in your code.

The simple reason is that the very same gcc has compiled at least 90%
of the software you are using in alpha4, and who knows how many other
millions of packages. So if there were any such bug in gcc, it would
have probably been hit by now, just out of pure probability...

Before going into finding gcc bugs, my humble suggestion is to give a
go to valgrind.
