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.
I can confirm this commit fixes the issue. It should be cherry-picked into stable branches, so the following stable releases will be able to built with latest GNU toolchain.
At last, happy new lunar year guys :).
