gcc-g77 creates "bad" executables

I have switch from the gcc-g77 in my repo to the official one in extra but it doesn't work. It can compile the program without error but when I try to run it, the hard drive starts acting up, slowing the computer. According to gkrellm, MBs of data is written to the hard drive. It is definitely not due to my program. And, I'm pretty sure that it is not due to any background task. I also tried with a different program with same results.
If I use my version of gcc-g77 or the Intel compiler, the programs are compiled and executed in less than 5 seconds.
The main differences between the official and my private PKGBUILD are the following:
1. The official PKGBUILD downloads the gcc-core sources which my PKGBUILD don't use. :?
2. The official PKGBUILD compiles with

make || return 1

while my personal PKGBUILD compiles with

make bootstrap || return 1

That might be the problem.

I want to know if someone else has problems with gcc-g77. If so, or if there is no answer by the end of the week, I will submit a bug report.

Well i would say that you have enough of a problem description to be able to file a decent bug now. If you act now it can be dealt with sooner rather than later.

OK. I will submit a bug report.

Excellent. It is a far better approach to have the bug open and this post here for feedback at the same time.
