Neither. It means you have exposed a linker bug. It was believed to be
only in GNU ld, but apparently it is in gold as well (building the
kernel with gold has always been iffy.)
The bisect isn't very useful, because you really want the result from
two patches later.
Let me emphasize: these patches only *detect* the failure, turning it
from silent corruption to an error message.
