So ideally we need some code that exposes the bug when using -O2 (or even just -funroll_loops) Looking at FS 814 there’s a hint in there that uhttpd was similarly affected…and not solved by the patch drop.  So what to do if there’s a bug just lurking to bite us?

If possible, reproduce it on uhttpd with an unmodified upstream version
of GCC and open up a bug report.
