Do you know why reducing the optimization level avoids a crash?
Perhaps this is just masking the symptoms and the problem is still
lurking.

If changing the optimization level turns out to be the right fix, I
would prefer to see this change made in the Makefile instead of
git-compat-util.h.  That way, the user building can still easily
override the optimization settings to -O0 if they want to during a
debugging session.

What do you think?

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
