It's still weird: I copied your config to 4d7321381e5c and made 'make oldconfig' -
and it asked a couple of questions, which suggests that your config does not come
from 4d7321381e5c?

Furthermore, building 4d7321381e5c and 4d7321381e5c^1 gives me:

# arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o:

text data bss dec hex filename
11530 0 0 11530 2d0a entry_64.o.before
11530 0 0 11530 2d0a entry_64.o.after

md5:
1430e793250d5d8572bc2df2997d3929 entry_64.o.before.asm
1430e793250d5d8572bc2df2997d3929 entry_64.o.after.asm

i.e. I have trouble reproducing the discrepancy you are seeing. (I also tried
allmodconfig/allyesconfig again for good measure - no luck.)

Thanks,

Ingo
