Yeah, it does.  Also poking around at 0x64c308 shows something that
looks very much like a vtable for a class called typed_value...

Ha.  No, I've only seen this when compiling all of mongodb, which takes
a pretty long time on hw.  I'll certainly let you know if I can come up
with something smaller.  I'll also try with 4.9.

No worries, a bug on launchpad.net/linaro-gcc is the right way to track
this properly?
