I had switched to gcc 8.2.0 last October since images built with gcc 5.3.0
had stopped working in -next at the time (coincidentally with the same
symptoms). Ever since then, I had on-and-off problems where one or two
of the test boots would fail. Usually a re-run would be successful.
I originally blamed qemu and switched between versions, but that didn't help.
This is the first release and branch where 8-10 of the 14 boot tests failed
persistently when building the image with gcc 8.2.0. I finally had the idea
to look at the compiler and, yes, switching back to an older version helped.

I have no idea if gcc or qemu or the code itself is to blame. I am not
sure if anyone would be interested enough to fix the underlying problem.
I just wanted to mention it in case someone does care. If so,
I'll be happy to help tracking it down further.

Thanks,
Guenter
