BTW, after applying this patch, I get the following error:

/work/git/linux-test.git/arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.S: Assembler messages:
/work/git/linux-test.git/arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.S:67: Error: invalid operands (*UND* and *UND* sections) for `+'

make[3]: *** [/work/git/linux-test.git/scripts/Makefile.build:349: arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.o] Error 1

Config attached.
