Thanks, I can't reproduce with this example, but building linux with
`make LLVM=1` does blow up on debian... even with cache=none actually?

I couldn't reproduce running the same rootfs directory in a container so
I don't think I corrupted my image, it appears to be reading junk? short
reads perhaps?...
(Interestingly, it doesn't seem to blow up on an alpine rootfs, I wonder
what's different...)

I'm now getting late for work but at least there's something I can
reproduce, I'll have a closer look ASAP, thank you.
