I see what's going on, originally this object-size text <= 20 test was gated with target 'arm_thumb2'.
My patch to exclude LOB targets replaced that with 'arm_thumb2_ok_no_arm_v8_1_lob', unfortunatelly this is relying on 'arm_thumb2_ok' that has a different semantic compared to the original 'arm_thumb2'. I'll post the patch I'm testing. Looks nothing serious to me tho. Andrea
