Comment (by gk):

 Yes, I needed to backport the GCC patch to 5.2.0 (attached) and then the
 error goes away. However, we are not done yet. The packaging is
 mysteriously freezing after the preparation of the startup cache. On the
 bright side this seems to imply just another bisecting as ESR 24 is
 getting compiled and packaged properly (after disabling LSan for the
 packaging step).
