This disassembles to:
0: 66 0f 38 f6 f0 adcx %eax,%esi
5: 31 c6 xor %eax,%esi
7: 8b 4d 14 mov 0x14(%ebp),%ecx
a: 89 cf mov %ecx,%edi
c: c1 ff 1f sar $0x1f,%edi
f: 8b .byte 0x8b
My first guess would be that the code simply jumped into garbage. But
can you post the complete .o file somewhere for inspection?
