State-Changed-Why:
    I have attached the reduced testcase as "pr10776.cpp.bz2".
    There is a huge compile time regression when the code is
    being compiled with -O[123], in 3.3 and 3.4 (and 3.2).
    The same code compiles in a decent amount of time (and
    memory usage) with 2.95. Notice that the whole regression
    can be eliminated by commenting a single relocated entry
    in the initializers (in the code, just comment the macro
    COMPILE_TIME_BUG defined at the beginning of the file).
    It looks like the optimizer is dieing because too much
    code is generated in the constructor/destructor initializer
    function. I think this is a middle-end bug, and I moved it
    to the middle-end category: probably GCC should be smarter
    and use memcpy whenever it's possible.
