GCC 4.8.0, 4.8.1 and 4.8.2 can generate broken epilogues for the ABI used by the kernel. Apply the patch that is included for GCC 4.8.3 from http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58854. The issue was found on Yocto/Dora and the patch should be backported to this branch. A kernel built with Dora's GCC 4.8.1 misbehaved on: while true; do (for i in `seq 1 100`; do echo "Log message... $RANDOM"; done) | logger; done busybox's syslogd would from time to read a huge negative value and then exit, strace would get stuck waiting on a syscall. After this patch it appears to work better.
