I know why. My personal FreeBSD builds have long had my
equivalents of src.conf (under normal naming) contain:

#
# Avoid stripping but do not control host -g status as well:
DEBUG_FLAGS+=

This likely replaces my earlier -mcpu=cortex-a7 hypothesis
for what a systematic difference might be that could
contribute to the personal builds not having the problem.
