Ok. FWIW, I just tried rebuilding with the following 4.6.3 toolchain:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/4.6.3/x86_64-gcc-4.6.3-nolibc_arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi.tar.xz

... and still didn't reproduce any errors. Of course, this probably
doesn't have whatever patches and whatnot might be included in the
distro 4.6.3 toolchain. It could be worth a try depending on what
happens with a newer kernel, though.
