gcc v5+ generates code that cause segment faults

[mfuhrman@enetarch.net]

Dear GCC community,

I have compiled this program under many different versions of Fedora using 
NetBeans 8.0.2 and 8.1, and have come to the conclusion that the segment
faults 
are being created not by the OS, but by the compiler. Provided here are my 
findings thus far. I hope that someone can shed light on why this error is 
occurring, and provide a resolution.

Mike,
