Indeed.  I did keep the -W flags on the principle of changing as little
as possible.  What I found was that -O0 works and -O1 fails, which should
make it somewhat easier to find the faulty optimization.

Please let me know.

I was going to suggest a binary-search approach to finding the
problem, but of course that might not work if the optimization problem
shows up in more than one translation unit.  But what should work is
to compile everything with -O0, then recompiling source files one at a
time with -O1 until the failure reappears.
