A bug in the -02 optimisation of GCC 5.4 6.1 and 6.2 causes setup_command_line() to not pass the correct first argument to strcpy and therefore not actually copy the command_line. A workaround patch was proposed: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/673130/ some discussion ensued. A GCC bug was raised: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71709 The bug has been fixed in 7.0 and backported to GCC 5 and GCC 6. At the time of writing GCC 5.4 is the most recent and is affected. GCC 6.3 contains the backported fix, has been tested and appears safe to use.

According to the GCC bug report, this bug applies to powerpc64le Why force all targets to not use those versions of GCC ? Christophe
