Hi all,

The latest GNU assembler (binutils-2.36.1) is removing unused section symbols like Clang [1]. So linux-5.10.15 can't be built with binutils-2.36.1 now. It has been reported as https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211693.

2.36 of binutils fails to build the 4.4.y tree right now as well, but as objtool isn't there, I don't know what to do about it :(

thanks,
