I have now the same version of GCC as before: 4.7.2.

I don't see that dependency, but FWIW, I'm attaching its dependencies
(as exported by "dependency walker").

I don't know.  FWIW, I'm building Emacs with the usual libraries:
  giflib-4.1.4-1
  gnutls-3.0.9
  jpeg-6b-4
  libpng-dev_1.4.3-1
  libxml2-2.7.8
  tiff-3.8.2-1
  libXpm-3.5.11

And their dependency libraries:
  zlib-1.2.8-1
  pkg-config_0.26-1
  glib_2.28.8-1
  p11-kit-0.9
  gettext-runtime_0.18.1.1-2
  libiconv-1.14-2

I could try first bootstrapping without libraries and then add the
libraries one by one, to determine which library triggers the problem
(if any).

Yes, it goes away!  :)

I've been able to do a full bootstrap with the patch below applied to
my source code tree.
