Comment 2 for bug 1813553

> Is the same issue occurring on a linux host

I did not try exactly the same tests on a Linux host, but a friend did his own tests and he reported similar problems.

> could you please put up a testcase (source and binaries) that folks could use to reproduce the issue

Yes, I attached an archive with two folders.

The file that threw the assert is f4b-lto-test/Debug/f4b-lto-test.elf.

The entire f4b-lto-test project is a simplification of the initial f4b-lto project, which behaved even worse, GDB crashed with segmentation fault while loading symbols. This case can be easily replicated in a console, by trying to start with 'arm-none-eabi-gdb f4b-lto.elf'
