Nice catch! This looks like a compiler bug.

For whatever reason we ended up with r10 this time:
7c 2a 0b 78 mr r10,r1
...
f8 4a 00 28 std r2,40(r10)
7c 63 ba 14 add r3,r3,r23
7c e9 03 a6 mtctr r7
7c 63 ea 14 add r3,r3,r29
38 a0 00 00 li r5,0
e8 48 00 08 ld r2,8(r8)
4e 80 04 21 bctrl
e8 4a 00 28 ld r2,40(r10)
The indirect function call is allowed to clobber r10, gcc is doing
something very wrong here.
