Thanks for looking into it. I found the same thing earlier this evening. Apparently they were trying to fix some csky-linux issue (https://patchwork.sourceware.org/project/binutils/patch/CAMe9rOp8+wtNAWX3Epo9yGSCA1xsFMZ4SR=f0y4gqmc1_no...@mail.gmail.com/) by moving the notes as you described. I think that we should report this upstream and revert the change for now to unblock the upgrade. Hopefully they will either provide a fix that avoids the space loss, or we'll have to come up with something that they can accept upstream. Best, christos
