Did your regular bootstrap (i.e. without vectorization) include
Fortran? If not, then I would like to suggest you bootstrap with
Fortran enabled, because the Fortran runtime library (libgfortran)
compiles a few files with vectorization. We've had a few regressions
due to that already, and we could do without another.

Thanks,
