At a wild guess, maybe strip_useless_type_conversions() is doing
something Bad.
Almost there. It looks like strip_useless_type_conversions is not used,
and then something Bad happens.
The following patch fixes it, but it's completely untested.

* gimplify.c (fold_indirect_ref_rhs): Use
STRIP_USELESS_TYPE_CONVERSION rather than STRIP_NOPS.

If anybody could regtest it, this is a regression from 3.3, likely to be
present in all 4.x branches.
