Given its sensitivity to the specific flags passed to gcc, it's natural
to suppose it's a gcc bug.  You can test by running gcc manually,
instead of via make; find the rule that's running gcc, remove @ from the
start of its line if present, run make to see the command it invokes;
invoke that command yourself.  If the issue arises then, it's definitely
gcc.
