I couldn't find any info either. As far as I understand, x264 was doing
something that wasn't standard-compliant (array overreads), and the GCC
optimization aggressive-loop-optimizations relies on the assumption that
all code is standard-compliant. So this is not a GCC bug.

It may be possible to verify this with Valgrind, but I think the version
of Valgrind in Ubuntu doesn't support all the instructions that x264
uses yet, so this is requires recompilation without assembly
optimizations.
