I think it's likely there really is a miscompilation. I've not been able to get very far trying to set up a native compiler to run on qemu, so it would help if you could try to narrow it down a bit further. IIUC, stage1 and stage2 produce different output for some output files, such as expr.o. You could try to copy object files from stage1 to stage2, then rebuild the stage2 compiler with these objects, until these differences go away. In that way, you can determine which file is being miscompiled by stage1. The next step would be to find code generation differences for that file between r162417 and r162418. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45445
