.. but your clang test did enable this?

.. never mind, I have clang locally anyway, and while I usually don't
do the allmodconfig test there, I did it now with COMPILE_TEST
disabled.

clang does seem fine. It generates 136 bytes of stack-frame (plus
register saves), which is certainly not optimal, but it's not horribly
excessive.

Of course, I don't know if clang actually does the same as gcc with
-fsanitize=object-size and -fprofile-arcs, but whatever they do, they
were on for that clang build.

So yes, this does seem to be a gcc-only problem.
