No idea what is causing it, but it is persistent. Something odd between compiler/binutils/objcopy.
Guess it doesn't matter since the release is out already.
If the commit that causes this can be figured out, we can revert it.
The final release built fine. I see this happen once in a while but was never able to figure out what causes it to happen. So far it was always persistent on a given source but disappeared as soon as something changed in the code (making it all but impossible to bisect). Looks like that happened again.
