Dunno. Plain -O2 may be the cause. Adding -mpentiumpro may avoid
the bug. I don't really care which combination of compiler, compiler
version, compilation options, preprocessor directives, source code
and OS headers work or don't work. The bottomline is that it's a
compiler bug and it should be discussed on one of their lists.
Preferrably resulting in a PR (filed against gcc of course) so that
they can fix it.

The only exception to the above is when the optimization level
changes the behaviour of gcc in such a way that it triggers a
FreeBSD bug. Odds are against it, but we cannot rule this out.
