I've checked in the attached (HEAD and RC). The failure in question was reported a couple of times, and nothing happens, which means we get to release 1.34.0 with it.
The problem only affects Darwin/PPC and here are the unknown reasons: Division by zero has an undefined result on PowerPC processors. The compiler has to emit extra code to assert that the divisor isn't zero. Removing -fno-trapping-math or adding -fnon-call-exceptions options might or might not convince GCC to do so (have no PPC machine to try). If that won't help seems there's nothing we can do about it.
