Hi,
Building 5.10.11 fails on my (x86-64) laptop thusly:

Happy to test the fix but please cc me as I'm not subscribed
Can you do 'git bisect' to track down the offending commit?
Sure, but I'll hold that request for a while. I updated to binutils-2.36 on Monday and I'm pretty sure that is a feature of this build fail. I've reverted binutils to 2.35.1, and the build succeeds. Updated to 2.36 again and, surprise, surprise, the kernel build fails again.
I've had a glance at the binutils ML and there are all sorts of issues being reported, but it's beyond my knowledge to assess if this build error is related to any of them.
I'll stick with binutils-2.35.1 for the time being.
And what exact gcc version are you using?
It's built from the 10-20210123 snapshot tarball.
I can report this to the binutils folks, but might it be better if the objtool maintainer looks at it first? The binutils change might just have opened the gate to a bug in objtool.
thanks,

AFAIK you need this in stable trees:
From 1d489151e9f9d1647110277ff77282fe4d96d09b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf jpoimboe@redhat.com Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 16:14:01 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] objtool: Don't fail on missing symbol table
Actually I think you need:
5e6dca82bcaa ("x86/entry: Emit a symbol for register restoring thunk")
I submitted a patch to stable list a few days ago.
(Though it's possible you need both commits, I'm not sure if binutils 2.36 has the symbol stripping stuff)
