Yeah, assuming it's the same problem, then this is caused by
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. It would be fixed by changing it to
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE.


Paul, do you have CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE enabled? Can you set it
to PERFORMANCE and see if the problem goes away?

As far as I can see, the Debian Linux kernel is built with `CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE=y`.

So it might be a different problem?


Kind regards,
