Many times, especially after I fixed a couple of minor build issues

I'm not disputing that you're seeing a problem, but I don't have any
COPTS (or other flags to tweak the compiler's optimization level away
from the NetBSD default), and I don't have any problems.

That's probably because your COPTS setting of -O overrides the setting
of -Os that ramdisk-tiny uses.  (Yes, the COPTS overriding needs to
be improved to make it less susceptible to this latter issue).
