PS: Building on Jessie was fine (using the same build procedure).

Since you're not building with --enable-release or MOZILLA_OFFICIAL, you're getting the local developer options, which means you're using gold, not ld. There is likely something fishy going on with gold. Try --disable-gold.

And yes, there is something fishy going on with gold. I will file a bug against binutils with a reduced test case.

I think you have the wrong bug - this one is for linux using the gnu gold linker, but you appear to be reporting against Windows 7. Also, changing the status to unverified when your results are "As expected" seems a strange thing to do.
