For what it's worth, bisection points to 903b487b5ba6 ("udf: Handle
error when adding extent to a file").

In order to reproduce:

#pip3 install -U tuxmake
tuxmake --runtime podman \
--target-arch arm \
--toolchain clang-17 \
--kconfig multi_v5_defconfig \
LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1

or:

#pip3 install -U tuxmake
tuxmake --runtime podman \
--target-arch powerpc \
--toolchain clang-17 \
--kconfig defconfig \
LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=0 LD=powerpc64le-linux-gnu-ld

or:

#pip3 install -U tuxmake
tuxmake --runtime podman \
--target-arch s390 \
--toolchain clang-17 \
--kconfig defconfig \
LLVM_IAS=1
