Hi,
AFAIK this is the exact case of gcc bugzilla #84607:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84607
As this is an upstream bug this should affect all distributions, maybe the commenter on Debian is using 7.3.1 so he can't reproduce the issue?
Let's not forget that Debian is patch happy (as is Ubuntu, logically), especially for gcc. Mostly for good reason but quite a bit is too many diffs: https://sources.debian.org/src/gcc-7/7.3.0-11/debian/patches/ It's quite possible that the snapshot plus diffs fixes/hides the bug on Debian. Fedora is another distro that is very happy to carry many diffs for some packages. Thinks of the version string like git-gc-7.3.1+dirty in mainstream distros. It's like a downstream branch.
