This may be a bug in gcc OR the linker.  I don't know, BUT I have a more
precise description of the issue and a much simpler minimal test case.

The problem occurs when all of the following conditions are true:
    1) gcc is invoked with -O2 and -flto
    2) memset is called with a non-constant length argument
    3) memset is called with a NON zero fill value argument.

The minimal test case is:

#include <string.h>

void
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
char buf[5000];

memset (buf, 0xFF, argc);
}

To conform to the bug submission guidelines, the preprocessed file for the this
test is attached.
