Your .o file looks odd.  I can't recreate the issue when I build the
same object.

Did the issue only just now show up?  Can you bisect it?  What version
of binutils are you using?

Here's the disassembly:

------------------

Where the heck does that "jmp 980" come from?  I don't see it in the
code:

------------------
ENTRY(interrupt_entry)
	....
	TRACE_IRQS_OFF

	ret
END(interrupt_entry)
_ASM_NOKPROBE(interrupt_entry)


/* Interrupt entry/exit. */

	/*
	 * The interrupt stubs push (~vector+0x80) onto the stack and
	 * then jump to common_interrupt.
	 */
	.p2align CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT
common_interrupt:
------------------

Hopefully gas isn't inserting stray jumps for code alignments...
