Okay a datapoint, I did managed to bootstrap two times a native compiled
Emacs with only this patch installed with no errors.

But it might be related to the fact that the excuted code is simpler and
less stressful to the GC, AFAIR ssa renamining (the nativecomp pass
where I saw the crash initially) is heavy at consing other than
computing.
