They are exactly the same :)

gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1.1)

Really I think I need to dig further as I don't have useful
clues to provide. I need to check if the segfault always happen
in the same place, etc...

It seems to happen with ld as well btw (not sure this is related
though):

[ 3366.005962] ld[19041]: segfault at 10 ip 000000007010248c (rpc 00000000701023f8) sp 00000000ffda87c8 error 30001 
in libbfd-2.18.0.20080103.so[700d8000+a0000]
