Boris Lukashev points out that Patrick should probably check a newer version of gcc. I looked around, and in one of the emails, Patrick said: "No changes, both the working and broken kernels were built with distro-provided gcc 5.4.0 and binutils 2.28.1" and gcc-5.4.0 is certainly not very recent. It's not _ancient_, but it's a bug-fix release to a pretty old branch that is not exactly new. It would probably be good to check if the problems persist with gcc 6.x or 7.x.. I have no idea which gcc version the randstruct people tend to use themselves.
