fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax and the upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
Please use

(load memory address) has changed for allocatable sections from being
equal to VMA (virtual memory address), to keeping the difference between
LMA and VMA the same as the previous output section in the same region.

.data.init_task : { *(.data.init_task) }

LMA of .data.init_task section is equal to its VMA with the old linker.
With the new linker, it depends on the previous output section. You

Change -mclmul to -mpclmul

I got a request to change gcc/assembler option, which enables
PCLMULQDQ, from -mclmul to -mpclmul, to reflect packed operation. 
Is there any objection?

Thanks.
