I did look a little further, the messagebus thing is not the problem. I
think the issue looks to be that systemd is conditionally adding some
code to a function on centos which changes the size of the .text
section, then that results in the other changes. What its doing on
centos and why, not sure but it sounds like host system contamination
of some sort.

Cheers,
