+Subject: [PATCH] gcc: fix segfault from calling free on non-malloc'd area
+
+We see the following on a 32bit gcc installed on 64 bit host:
+
+  Reading symbols from ./i586-pokymllib32-linux-gcc...done.
+  (gdb) run
+  Starting program: x86-pokymllib32-linux/lib32-gcc/4.9.0-r0/image/usr/bin/i586-pokymllib32-linux-gcc
+
+  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
+  0xf7e957e0 in free () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
+  (gdb) bt
+  #0  0xf7e957e0 in free () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
+  #1  0x0804b73c in set_multilib_dir () at gcc-4.9.0/gcc/gcc.c:7827
+  #2  main (argc=1, argv=0xffffd504) at gcc-4.9.0/gcc/gcc.c:6688
+  (gdb)
+
+The problem arises because we conditionally assign the pointer we
+eventually free, and the conditional may assign the pointer to the
+non-malloc'd internal string "." which fails when we free it here:
+
+   if (multilib_dir == NULL && multilib_os_dir != NULL
+       && strcmp (multilib_os_dir, ".") == 0)
+     {
+       free (CONST_CAST (char *, multilib_os_dir));
+       ...
+
+As suggested by Jakub, ensure the "." case is also malloc'd via
+xstrdup() and hence the pointer for the "." case can be freed.
