Wth? I'm not seeing how this can fail on nds32 - doesn't look like a
bashism, everything is properly quoted, etc etc. Plus it's a
cross-compile anyway, so the shell in question should be the same as
on all the other architectures.

Presumably the nds32 assembly contains something odd and unexpected,
but with the quoting, I can't see how even that could matter.

Yeah, the test itself could probably be simplified to testing both
conditions at the same time:

  [ "$a $b" = ".size .LPBX0," ]

but that's a separate issue.

Funky. What am I missing? Presumably something really stupid.
