You are right, this is a gcc bug. Python built with OPT=-O0 passed to
configure. This is Linux/athlon, gcc-4.3.0 snapshot from 2008-03-13.

Since I recently encountered a particular gcc-4.3.0 bug,
I confirmed that it is the cause here too: Python-3.0a4 builds
with "-O3 -fwrapv -fno-tree-vrp" but hangs with "-O3 -fwrapv".
The bug is already fixed in gcc:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35833

The bug is present in gcc-4.3.0 released a month ago, so someone with
vanilla gcc-4.3.0 might check this. Adding -fno-tree-vrp is a workaround
for gcc-4.3.0.
