So while I don't know why, someone else noted this problem to me
recently, as hit on I believe the Walnut (405GP Eval), saying that
flush_instruction_cache worked prior to relocation, but failed
afterwards. And if the function was put into the .data section, all was
well (_GLOBAL changed meaning 'recently' which changed this behavior).
No solution, but hopefully more hints..
