It is definitely something caused by our awk in base, in any case.
First opt-gather.awk is run to generate a flat list of all options:

  /usr/bin/awk -f /usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/opt-gather.awk 
/usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/ada/gcc-interface/lang.opt 
/usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/fortran/lang.opt 
/usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/go/lang.opt 
/usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/java/lang.opt 
/usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/lto/lang.opt 
/usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/c-family/c.opt 
/usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/common.opt 
/usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/config/fused-madd.opt 
/usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/config/i386/i386.opt 
/usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/config/rpath.opt 
/usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/config/freebsd.opt > tmp-optionlist

Then opt-functions.awk is run to process optionlist into options.h:

  /usr/bin/awk -f /usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/opt-functions.awk -f 
/usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/opt-read.awk -f 
/usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/opth-gen.awk < optionlist > options.h

If I run the first step using LANG=C, or without any LANG setting, both
optionlist and options.h are as expected.  If I run the first step using
LANG=en_US.UTF-8, the optionlist is sorted differently, for example the
"good" optionlist has the uppercase d options first, and much later the
lowercase d options:

  D^\C ObjC C++ ObjC++ Joined Separate MissingArgError(macro name missing after 
%qs)^\-D<macro>[=<val>]   Define a <macro> with <val> as its value.  If just 
<macro> is given, <val> is taken to be 1
  D^\Driver Joined Separate
  D^\Fortran Joined Separate
  ... much later in the file, after all options starting with an uppercase 
letter ...
  d^\C ObjC C++ ObjC++ Joined
  d^\Common Joined^\-d<letters>   Enable dumps from specific passes of the 
compiler
  d^\Fortran Joined
  d^\Java Separate SeparateAlias Alias(foutput-class-dir=)

The "bad" optionlist has the upper and lower case d options sorted
together:

  d^\C ObjC C++ ObjC++ Joined
  D^\C ObjC C++ ObjC++ Joined Separate MissingArgError(macro name missing after 
%qs)^\-D<macro>[=<val>]   Define a <macro> with <val> as its value.  If just 
<macro> is given, <val> is taken to be 1
  d^\Common Joined^\-d<letters>   Enable dumps from specific passes of the 
compiler
  D^\Driver Joined Separate
  defsym=^\Driver JoinedOrMissing
  defsym^\Driver Separate
  d^\Fortran Joined
  D^\Fortran Joined Separate
  d^\Java Separate SeparateAlias Alias(foutput-class-dir=)

Note that GNU awk does *not* produce a different optionlist file when
used with either LANG=C or LANG=en_US.UTF-8.

opt-gather.awk's sorting function looks like this:

  function sort(ARRAY, ELEMENTS)
  {
          for (i = 2; i <= ELEMENTS; ++i) {
                  for (j = i; ARRAY[j-1] > ARRAY[j]; --j) {
                          temp = ARRAY[j]
                          ARRAY[j] = ARRAY[j-1]
                          ARRAY[j-1] = temp
                  }
          }
          return
  }

So I am assuming that the ARRAY[j-1] > ARRAY[j] comparison works
differently in our awk, depending on the LANG settings.  No idea when
that changed, though, if it changed at all...
