The cases i could find were  pieces of bigger codebase with cycles 
coming out of more than 4-5 files with lot of code. I tried to repeat 
the code sequence with a couple of files with simplistic function but 
was not able to come out with a smaller test case for the above. Would 
try to come up with a test case again if i can. But i think moving 
around the code from static constructors as suggested in an earlier post 
in the thread helped.

Also, I think that the cyclic const/dest have a problem, because the 
same code was working find with 2.050.

Another bit of diff from my older scenario is that 2.050 was on 32 bit 
and i am using -m64 with 2.052, which i am not sure should be a problem.
