+OK, if I first do:
+
+export CFLAGS='-O2 -g -pipe -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -fno-tree-ccp -fno-tree-dominator-opts -fno-tree-pre -fno-tree-pta'
+
+Then I am able to reproduce this bug outside rpm. So I am going to gradually
+eliminate compile flags until I find the culprit.
