Followup-For: Bug #840910

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Further data points:

on amd64 architecture, ld.gold failure is linked to the commit:

7f2084fa55e6cb61f61b4224d4a8bafaeee55f9f is the first bad commit
commit 7f2084fa55e6cb61f61b4224d4a8bafaeee55f9f
Author: Al Viro <[email protected]>
Date:   Fri Jan 15 14:01:22 2016 -0500

[kbuild] handle exports in lib-y objects reliably

on i386 architecture, I can build 4.9.0-rc1 with ld.bfd and run the kernel
without problems.

I'm currently building the kernel on amd64 with ld.gold and the above commit
reverted.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
