There are two types of compiler bug: a) bug that produces bad code; b)
bug that makes the compiler crash.

The latter number seems kind of low right now, but that's probably
because some of them are now obscured by BROKEN tags:

For comparison, bitrot that is probably due to older ports not keeping
up with compiler changes is at:

I don't have any statistic for "produces bad code".
