The corresponding Debian issue are probably #1004893 and #1043281
which was boiled down to a GCC issue, #1005863 and
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104713

As the sudo maintainer, I am reluctant to turn off a hardening feature
to support ancient CPUs. I would be reluctant to do that for a normal
package, but ESPECIALLY for a package like sudo which is installed
nearly everywhere and contains an suid root binary.

I am willing to consider arguments and Ctte advice, but as things are
now I am fine with the current state.
