Here is the trace:

Any suggestions on where to progress from here?

No... everything else has been perfectly fine.  Perplexing.  I can ssh
out and in.  I can gzip, but I am not certain it is using zlib.

Well, stripping is the default.  And most distros ship stripped
libraries and binaries.  As to -fomit-frame-pointer, in the few years
I have been running gentoo, this is the first time that I have needed
them.  So I would rather have the extra register for computation most
of the time.  It gives a measurable speed increase for some classes of
computation.  In my case it is a win for encoding and since I do some
video editing, it is useful..
