In fact, gcc@gcc.gnu.org is the wrong mailing list.  The right mailing
list would be gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org.  Please take any followups there.
Thanks.

I can't figure out your line breaks there--all the code is on a single
line.  That said, it sounds like this is a small bug somewhere, and I
would guess it is somewhere in GCC.  Please report it following the
instructions at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ .  Thanks.
