Follow-up Comment #12, bug #42717 (project gnustep):
> both being caused by a compiler that crashes when calling

My understanding is that the behavior when calling a method expected to return
a struct on a nil receiver is (and has always been) undefined.
Certainly I know that it has always crashed on sparc machines.
So I think it's a bit harsh to refer to a change in the undefined behavior as
a new compiler bug .... I expect any code calling a method which returns a
struct ought to check that the receiver is non-null fist.
