We have been building and boot testing the mainline 4.9 tree for quite
some time. This issue appears to be exposed by the rootfs that Linaro is
using for testing; ours is incredibly simple (prints the version string
then shuts down, there is no systemd or complex init).

Some initial notes, I am not sure how much time I will have to look at
this in the near future:

1. This does not happen with the same configuration file on
   linux-4.14.y.

2. This happens with the latest version of clang on linux-4.9.y.

3. Bisecting v4.9 to v4.14 will be rather difficult because clang
   support was backported to 4.9 somewhere in the 130s.

There could be a clang backport missing or a bug was unintentionally
fixed somewhere else.

Cheers,
Nathan
