In this case, your bootstrap compiler is a strong suspect.

What is CFLAGS set to in the top-level Makefile?  How about
STAGE1_CFLAGS in gcc/Makefile?  With DJ's patch, the top-level CFLAGS
probably stops overriding STAGE1_CFLAGS, so you may get an optimized
stage1.  If the bootstrap compiler mis-optimizes the code, stage1 may
simply crash.  However, if you're lucky (and you seem to be!), it'll
just disable a few optimizations, so stage2 will work correctly, but
it will generate different code, because it won't miss the
optimizations.  If this theory is correct, bootstrap4 should succeed.
