Bug#1005863: binutils: invalid opcode for Geode LX on i386
Followup-For: Bug #1005863
X-Debbugs-Cc: ballombe@debian.org
Control: reassign -1 binutils 2.38-1
Reassigning this from package 'gcc' to 'binutils':
It looks like it is GNU binutils[1] (and in particular, the GNU assembler)
that is responsible for producing the assembly opcodes for a binary compiled
with gcc.

Yep, agreed. I'd like to learn more about technical fix feasibility before
adjusting the severity.
There was a commit[2] in Y2010 of GNU binutils to stop emitting NOPL on (32bit)
i686 targets.. I'm wondering if it's possible that a regression since then may
have caused the opcodes to reappear.
(it continues to be equally likely that I've completely misunderstood and am
creating noise without making any useful progress)
