I don't suppose you could grab a -save-temps output for MallocChecker.cpp?

I think we only produce R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 for tail calls. The veneer is
then needed if a mode change is required because there's no "bx (imm)"
instruction.

I'm not aware of any better candidate than r269101 for a cause, but
I'm still rather confused about how. Hopefully the intermediate files
will shed some light on at least what's wrong.

Cheers.
