So, even before the tests are all done, I already noticed an issue here:
on my machine, the iso images are about 1GiB large, while on my server,
they are only a bit less than 5MiB.

So, it looks like this is a binutils issue, with objdump being the
culprit (it very much look like older similar issues).
I'll continue investigating...

Thanks!
