I'm going to guess hardware problem. Code looks valid, code works
for me.

Run "memtest" on your machine and see if that throws out any errors?

I investigated more. Actually, for some reason, I had binutils-gold installed.
Removing it to use standard binutils fixes the problem.

Please file a bug against binutils-gold if one doesn't already exist for that
issue. The code you posted is almost trivially valid, so I'd say there must
be some serious problems with that version of binutils-gold.
