Note that the errrors I reported come from running an instrumented postgres
with "-fsanitize=undefined -g" option.

Every time with current GCC trunk:

./xgcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=./xgcc
Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Configured with: ../configure --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran
--disable-bootstrap --prefix=/home/marxin/bin/gcc : (reconfigured)
../configure --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran --disable-bootstrap
--prefix=/home/marxin/bin/gcc
Thread model: posix
gcc version 8.0.1 20180319 (experimental) (GCC)

But using latest release GCC 7.3.0 should provide similar _runtime_ errors.
