Since my original report last year [1], I've seen it fail many times on
various HW (we run perf tests daily on RHEL). I haven't noticed any pattern
regarding HW it fails on.

Binutils versions go from binutils-2.23.52 to current latest from git.

It was always about "object code reading", from times it was perf test 21,
until now, when it's perf test 23.

I'm attaching examples of test output along with objdump output, that I
just ran on a random system using kernel 4.2.0.

HTH, regards,
Jan
