Comment(by mta@…):

 Yes one part of the attached patch should fix #18489.  The other part that
 fixes "target.asroot" is a separate bug.  They probably should be separate
 tickets and patches, but I got lazy.  I didn't find #18489 before I
 submitted this or I would have attached the one patch there. Do you want
 me to split the patch in half?
