bug#6031: gcc 4.5 breaks optimized builds of emacs

[Elias Pipping]

Hi,

I'm on the current HEAD of the repo.or.cz mirror of emacs which is

  http://repo.or.cz/w/emacs.git/commit/910daaa95ca0708ad7022667e214bba4b8eb3d6b

When I compile a minimal version of emacs like this:

  $ ./configure CFLAGS="-O1 -foptimize-sibling-calls" --without-x
--without-alsa --without-dbus; [..]

with gcc 4.5 and run it via

  $ ./src/emacs -Q -nw

I get a segfault. Dropping the -foptimize-sibling-calls (which is
implied by -O2) makes it work again. So does using an older version of
gcc (e.g. 4.4.3) or running emacs outside a terminal.
