The 'brokenness' problem might be just a manifestation of the real
problem that does not go away no matter what compiler options you use.

You should try to solve one of the visible problems first, it might turn
out that it will fix all the others too.  Pick which of them (brokeness
or assertion failure w/ debugging) is easier to debug and try to find
out what is happening.

I usually start with the problems that show up in the debug version,
as an unoptimized code is much easier to follow, and if an assertion
fails, it means the problem is caught "early".  You could also try to
add some more assertions around the place where things fail, especially
if debugging with GDB/DDD is not easily achievable.
