Description:
Tried this on the 5.0.12 binary as well as the latest bk tree:

sh$/usr/sbin/mysqld --no-defaults --sql-bin-update-same
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

How to repeat:
See description

Suggested fix:
The crash happens right here:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The problem is right here:

{"sql-bin-update-same", OPT_SQL_BIN_UPDATE_SAME,
   "The update log is deprecated since version 5.0, is replaced by the binary \
log and this option does nothing anymore.",
   0, 0, 0, GET_BOOL, NO_ARG, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},

We are telling handle_options() to store a value at the 0 address. We should have something like GET_DEPRECIATED instead of GET_BOOL, or find some other way to deal with depreciated options. Maybe add a blackhole variable bool opt_bool_depreciated ?
