It seems this is affecting the ARCH=arm defconfig (regardless of
toolchain) of linux-next today.  I know you've warned me about testing
on -next before...

Maybe this is: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-next/20200916140437.GL2142832@xxxxxxxxxx/
? That looks arm64 specific though.  Maybe 32b ARM needs the same or a
similar fix?  Oh man, this boots, total shot in the dark:
