Yes, I understand. But most of package maintainers even don't know about
such major problems with GCC compiler.

I already rebuilt all my affected packages with 10.1.1.

Non-released GCC versions is okay for Rawhide, but not for branched
releases. Now lots of end-users suffer from different side effects of
such testing like random crashes and this is a strong reputation blow on
the whole Fedora distribution.
