Let's try to avoid a fight.

For future reference, if you are a gcc user and find unusual behavior that
you suspect is a bug, we ask that you go to gcc-help first.  Think of it
as the first line of support.  The next step would be either to go
straight to bugzilla (if it's a clear bug with a testcase) or the
discussion can move to gcc if it's a tricky issue.

The reason things are done this way is that the gcc list already has too
much traffic and it's used as the main means of communication between the
developers.
