gcc-9 is a bit of a relic, do you have more recent compilers lying
around? If not, I can try some older compilers at some point.

What do you mean by "sha1"? It falls with v6.4-rc1 which is a stable
hash, if that's what you're looking for.

Otherwise,

(ignore the release crap haha, too lazy to find a proper hosting
mechanism)

|     access any global symbols through the GOT since it requires relocations,
|     relocations that we do before but *virtually*. So only use medany code
|     model for this early code.
