It would be much nicer to see unchanged md5sum. I am not sure how much
possible is this with current gcc or whether special command line
parameters have to be used (at least !CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO* is necessary)
but simple variable rename shouldn't be binary visible.
I guess that a similar approach was used during 32b and 64b x86
unification.

I would assume the same testing results as above

ditto.

This looks like a random test. I wouldn't add it to the changelog.
