I run a development gcc locally, and I just had updated it this morning
(4a868591169). Interestingly I don't see the ICE with it.

But I can reproduce it with debian sid's gcc-snapshot, with exactly the same
compiler arguments. The snapshot's version:
     gcc (Debian 20241123-1) 15.0.0 20241123 (experimental) [master r15-5606-g4aa4162e365]

so it looks like the bug might have been fixed recently?

I'm not sure this is really the bug linked to earlier [1]. I can't repro the
issue with 14, for example.

It's possible it requires specific gcc configure flags to be triggered?

Luckily -g1 does, at least locally, work around the issue with
gcc-snapshot. So I guess I'll make flaviventris and serinus use that for now
:/

Greetings,
