The static oversize test relies on the compiler optimising away a leg that can never be reached if the size is under the max. If you do a make V=1 you'll see what optimisation flags the compiler is using ... if it's -O2 then yes, the compiler should be optimising stuff away and it's a clear compiler problem. If it's anything else, we might have a mis setting of the optimisation level in the kernel build.
