I did a git bisect to find the commit fixing the issue. Then, as I was not believing the result, I tried the following sequence a dozen of times (for some unknown reasons the FreeBSD install CD doesn't exhibit the issue, so I used the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD installer):

Maybe I am doing something wrong or there is a bug in my toolchain (Debian Sid). It would be nice if someone could try to reproduce that on another distro/system.
Can you save the out/ directory from both builds and "diff -ur" them (maybe just the *.lds files)?
I'm noticing that pathnames are embedded in some ELF section names (I hope this sentence makes sense), and when you build at d75c22fc, those pathnames contain dot-dot (".."), ie. two section name separators next to each other. Maybe that's not good; no idea.
