Where / how do I trigger this (or 2/2) ?
GCC 5
I'm seeing exactly the same issue with gcc5 on Fedora, I've also seen another issue with gcc5 with strcat for panda board variant names which we hacked around [1].
So, I want to say that GCC 5.x (or at least 5.1) will be a known good compiler for v2016.01. I know that Fedora folks have been doing it for a while (yay, thanks) but I also know that Felipe has seen a few problems using some other (I think..) gcc-5 toolchain. So what I'm doing is getting the Fedora gcc-5 packages installed now, along with a Debian/unstable chroot where I can also get at all of their cross tools.

That's interesting. I don't know why (and I would worry about) strcat failing, but since it's two string literals can't we just do a simple +? Or is my lack of coffee just yet causing me to forget that C is not every-other-language...
It's more pointing it out that it worked for gcc < 5 and we saw this regression with u-boot (numerous versions) built with gcc5, I'm not sure why the panda board implementation did it like it did as opposed to any other way, just worth looking out for those sorts of issues elsewhere in the code.
