I do not know enough about this to claim it is due to a bug in gcc or in
emacs. However, note that this report shows a probable use of freed memory
in temacs, and that generally implicates the application, not the compiler.
One additional data point: I've just built today's gcc version 4.8.0 20120410,
and have used it to bootstrap emacs(trunk) four times with no such failure.
