I doubt that it's a bug in GCC.  The problem description (different 
sections in the object code) is too complex to be explained by a bug.

I suspect you have several different versions of specs or the djgpp.djl 
linker script files, and that, due to some intermittent hardware failure 
(e.g., with your disk controller), the compiler uses different versions 
of these files in different compilations.

Specifically, the sections' layout is determined by djgpp.djl.  My first 
suggestion would be to search your disk(s) and find out how many files by 
that name do you have, where do they live, and how their contents are 
different.
