That got rid of the initial errors, but now it fails for relocations
on .memcmp and some others.

Next guess:  I have reverted commit
a7815807f749669d3e06529b2d448390f2ef0f9d ("kbuild: simplify vmlinux link
stage") and powerpc allmodconfig builds again.  (even with FTRACE reenabled)

[For those that came in late (Sam):  a powerpc allyesconfig build was
getting errors like this:

net/ipx/af_ipx.c:1830: relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC64_REL24 against symbol `._mcount' defined in .text section in vmlinux.o

which I surmised was caused by ftrace adding -pg to KBUILD_CFLAGS.]
