I fetched a copy from git.infradead.org, but building 4.4.0 died of a
C++ error after 45 minutes, so that sorta killed my enthousiasm right
there. Not to mention that I could not figure out how to tell gcc to
stop building itself with itself, thus rendering my ccache useless
(--disable-bootstrap did not do the trick). Re-building gcc from
scratch on an old Athlon is not fun. :(
I'm CCing the Debian GCC team, in case they have a suggestion to make
bisecting easier. (Or better yet, if they can reproduce the bug
themselves.)
