The "-z notext" flag disables reporting an error if DT_TEXTREL is set on
PPC with CONFIG=kdump:
ld.lld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_PPC64_ADDR64 against
local symbol in readonly segment; recompile object files with -fPIC
or pass '-Wl,-z,notext' to allow text relocations in the output
>>> defined in built-in.a(arch/powerpc/kernel/misc.o)
>>> referenced by arch/powerpc/kernel/misc.o:(.text+0x20) in archive
built-in.a
The BFD linker disables this by default (though it's configurable in
current versions). LLD enables this by default. So we add the flag to
keep LLD from emitting the error.
