My CPU was idle for a while, so I set it to work bisecting this. It
came up with the following gcc commit:

    commit e98da821c1ee4450bbe40a0278cd75803706aa7c (HEAD, refs/bisect/new)
    Author: hubicka <address@hidden>

                PR middle-end/65337
                * tree-ssa-dce.c (bb_postorder): New static var.
                (forward_edge_to_pdom): Remove.
                (remove_dead_stmt): Instead of redirecting edges only keep an 
edge
                on a path to nearest live BB.
                (eliminate_unnecessary_stmts): Free bb_postorder.
                * cfganal.c (dfs_find_deadend): Add START_POINTES.
                * cfganal.h (inverted_post_order_compute): Update prototype.

which is three years old. I guess you could try to get it backported
to the gcc in 16.04, but it might be easier for you to just install a
later version of gcc (or upgrade to a later version of Ubuntu :-) )
