Sorry, I wanted to write a reproducer first.  With it, I found two more
issue.

  Memory (resource) leak in -ftrampoline-impl=heap
  <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=113401>

  Incorrect symbol versions for __builtin_nested_func_ptr_created,
  __builtin_nested_func_ptr in libgcc_s.so.1
  <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=113402>

  __builtin_nested_func_ptr_created, __builtin_nested_func_ptr should be
  dynamically linked by default
  <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=113403>

Thanks,
Florian
