>Description:
For alpha, GCC 14 crashes during various pkgsrc's.

I've found that this is because GCC 14 miscompiles its backend.

(1) pkgtools/libnbcompat

```
ds10% cd /build/pkgsrc/pkgtools/libnbcompat/work.alpha/libnbcompat-20251029/

This can be worked around by adding

```

```

to external/gpl3/gcc/usr.bin/backend/Makefile.

This can be worked around by adding -O1 to
tree-ssa-tail-merge.cc and tree-ssa-thread{backward,edge}.cc.

```

This can be worked around by adding -O1 to tree-ssa-strlen.cc.

With -O1 hacks for (1)--(3), more than 270 random pkgsrc's successfully
build on alpha with GCC 14.

Note that lang/ruby-3[34] and ruby-40 still fail to build. But for this
case, cc1 does not crash unlike (1)--(3). These cannot be worked around by
adding any optimization flags to GCC backend. Instead, compiling some ruby
source with -O1 works around the problem.

Also note that unlike

-fno-tree-loop-distribute-patterns is insufficient for this purpose.
