Yeah, I was able to test yesterday, and hit the second problem.
I have a patch.  The fix for the first problem has already been
applied to the branch and so will be in 2.20.1.

I've also got a patch for the -mpwr* thing.  I've not finished testing
the GCC bootstrap yet though, so it'll be a few days before I submit them.
