It's not supposed to have any real effect unless the
option is selected, but there are a few changes to linker
script which must be causing it.

There are two changes to vmlinux.lds.h. One is to KEEP a
few input sections, that *should* be kept anyway. The other
is to bring in additional sections into their correct output
section.

Could you try reverting those lines of vmlinux.lds.h that
change the latter, i.e.:

- *(.text.hot .text .text.fixup .text.unlikely) \
+ *(.text.hot .text .text.fixup .text.unlikely .text.*) \


- *(.bss) \
+ *(.bss .bss.[0-9a-zA-Z_]*) \

etc?

Thanks,
Nick
