Strange. I thought that bootstrapping three times from 5.00.2 is
a long time, so I stoped, made maintainer-clean, and started again
using the version that previously crashed. I thought that if the
bug has been fixed during last changes, I'll try to compile this
file with different options, perhaps -Onot, and it will be fine:
the compiler produced would be OK and I would have it quickly.

But this time it didn't crash. So the bug is non-deterministic and
rare. I still don't know if it's present in the *last* version.
