I have no doubt that passing -O2 works around the issue, but is this
the right fix? Especially since it didn't happen with gcc 14.x, it
does seem like a regression, no?

Could you make a bug report to GCC? Note that they want the
preprocessed source code to be able to easily reproduce.

Thanks a lot!
