I think perhaps we can do a little better on narrowing this down especially 
given you said that it occurs in -O0 mode.

If you dump this code using objdump -C -d -l, it will try to find the file 
name and line number from the debug symbols, and annotate the assembly with 
these.

Can you give it a try and search for the 0x6268 and scroll up from there to 
find the nearest lines of code to the issue?

Apologies if you already tried this and it didn't work. It helped me in the 
past.

Matthew.
