Built 20.0b93 on linux.  Same problem as previous few betas.  Segfault
on startup.

I tried system-malloc.  No diff.  Then I tried no optimization.
Bingo.

If compiled with only -g, not even -O, it runs OK.  This is
libc-5.4.13.  gcc is 2.7.2 with the optimization bug fix.

Is is really a gcc optimization bug?  Maybe.  With a couple of well
publicized exceptions, these have been extremely rare, particularly
with only -O.  At any rate, why am I the only victim?  Should I try a
different gcc?  What do others use?
