Yes, he is:

    abbe [emacs-git] chateau % gcc -v
    Using built-in specs.
    COLLECT_GCC=gcc
    COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.0/lto-wrapper
    Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
    Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr 
--enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++,ada --enable-shared 
--enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-lto 
--enable-gnu-unique-object --disable-multilib --disable-libstdcxx-pch 
--with-system-zlib --with-ppl --with-cloog --libdir=/usr/lib 
--libexecdir=/usr/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info
    Thread model: posix
    gcc version 4.5.0 (GCC)

So I think this is a known issue with GCC 4.5 produced optimized code.
