There is a promising "keep_error_builds" option in buildfarm settings, but
it does not seem to be used anywhere in the scripts. Well, I can probably
relaunch by hand.

However, given the experimental nature of the setup, I think that the most
probable cause is a newly introduced gcc bug, so I'd suggest to wait to
check whether the issue persist before spending time on that, and if it
persists to investigate further to either report a bug to gcc or pg,
depending.

Also, I'll recompile gcc before the next weekly builds.
