Two ARM64 compiler bugs hit curl in GCC and Rust toolchains

Original: Two ARM64-specific compiler optimization bugs, in GCC 15/16 and Rust, hit curl

curl maintainer Daniel Stenberg reports that two ARM64-specific compiler optimization bugs, one in GCC 15/16 and one in the Rust compiler, have affected curl. The bugs, triggered by aggressive optimization on 64-bit ARM platforms, caused miscompiled code in the widely used data transfer library. The report has drawn attention from developers discussing the risks compiler bugs pose to critical open-source infrastructure.

Why now: Compiler-level miscompilation in a security-critical library like curl raises concerns about the reliability of modern optimized builds on ARM64.
