That's probably a first step, but you might want to wait until Segher
can fill in more details.  I'm sort of just relaying what he and I were
talking about on IRC.  IIRC, he was testing builds with and without
both -pg and -fno-omit-frame-pointer and found the bug only when
-fno-omit-frame-pointer was present.
