Hi,

The differences are pretty extensive. But I will try to weed through
it and see if something jumps out.

According to the .mesh.o.cmd file -fno-strict-overflow is also there.

If it helps, I don't think 4.2.4 works either. I have not repeated the
exact test (a 4.2.4 compiled mesh with 4.3.5 everything else) but I
have tried to build the entire kernel with 4.2.4 and it behaved the
same as 4.3.5. Any chance the list of changes is smaller (between
4.1.2 and 4.2.4)?

Thanks!

kevin
