Ditto for gcc-2.95.2-13 from Debian (potato). It exhibits the same bug. Debian applies a total of 49 patches to gcc and the libraries.
I am tempted to write a little script which discards the patches one by one and re-builds and re-tests each time, and leave it going all night.... but I'm not sure if I actually will.
