Right, and there is a PR for this, other/5620.  Unfortunately
that PR has been closed.  I'll re-open it.  This is a regression
from 3.0.4, though not exactly a show-stopper.  The PR is for
3.1 but the reason for closing the report was that the problem
wasn't reproducible on mainline.  Tsk tsk.  Besides, it is
reproducible on mainline too.  Caveat: you need to *link* any
trivial program (not use -c); the bug report does not fail to
describe that.  Craig, is a spurious -c the reason why you could
not reproduce this?
