 aha -- and they are even talking about that very switch in this postgresql
 thread

 branches vs. gcc 4.8.0)

 After quite a bit of hair-pulling trying to install Fedora 19 Alpha,
 I've been able to reproduce the initdb-time failure that's currently
 being seen on buildfarm member anchovy, and was also complained of
 recently by an end user:

 kq3Eg5SOvRYOVxDuqibVWC8R0wEivPsMGcyzZY-nfzA at mail.gmail.com

 It is exactly what I suspected, namely that gcc 4.8.0 is applying an
 optimization that breaks our code; the odd thing though is that it's
 not breaking 9.2 or HEAD, just the older branches.
