That's a configuration that should not have been built. As Michael
wrote, it's just a fragment for a defconfig, I queued it for a build
but that was plain wrong. (As well as other *.config files.)

I'll wait until the current build loop finishes. Looking at
__copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault(), it uses an asm goto, which I had
issues with and there was already a fix for it
(7676235f690e624b7ed41a22b22ce8ccfac1492f,
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=107997) which might fix
all of those.

Thanks,
