Having investigated with both jessie/oldstable and stretch/stable chroots, I 
can report that this is a sid/unstable problem. With the earlier distribution 
versions, everything (in version 76) compiles and builds just fine. Some GCC 
version details:

jessie (Debian 4.9.2-10)
stretch (Debian 6.3.0-18)
sid (Debian 6.4.0-12)

Hopefully, the failure will go away by itself. If it persists, I guess I'll 
try and report it.
