In which case the most likely cause is a compiler bug.
(I've had occasional problems at different with what seems to be multiple use
of the same register, evident either as things like ldr r3, [r3],#3 or
once with loading a short int using 2 lrdb instructions both targeted at
the same register, all when building perl. Latter problem went away as
soon as I used a temporary variable or stuck printf()s in to try to find
out why a regression test was failing)

Is it possible to arrange for the buildd either to use a different
optimisation level, or to temporarily use a new (or older) compiler?

Else I'll download the source debs try to recreate the problem at home
[and start staring at -O2 output in gdb once again.
Not fun, which is why I'm trying to avoid it]
