Thanks for the patch, but no, still fails with:
Cannot find symbol for section 8: .text.unlikely. kernel/kexec_file.o: failed make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:277: kernel/kexec_file.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** Deleting file 'kernel/kexec_file.o'
It was just a guess.
I guess I'll need to find some time next week to set up a VM with binutils 2.36 (I just checked, and all my development machines have 2.35). Then I'll be able to try and debug it.
FWIW, I wasn't able to recreate. I tried both binutils 2.36 and 2.36.1, with gcc 11 and a 'make allmodconfig' kernel.
I'm using whatever the latest is in Arch, which is gcc 10.2 and binutils 2.36. My config is here: https://github.com/gregkh/gregkh-linux/blob/master/stable/configs/4.4.y
