Thank you for finding the bug, and for the clear analysis of what's
gone wrong.  I can't review your patch as I do not know gcc.c well
enough to tell whether this is the right way to fix it.  Therefore,
please file a bug report so that we don't forget about this issue,
and attach the patch to the bug.
