I would try the daily date update right before
30c3c4427521f96fb58b6e1debb86da4f113f06f commit and then bispect from there
because there are a few changes between the daily date update which could have
caused this issue.

I am also running into a similar issue (though not exactly the same) with a
based GCC 4.7 toolchain with this change in too on Octeon.  I am still trying
to debug it and reproduce it.
