Guenter Roeck reported the build breakage for parisc and csky.
I confirmed nios2 and openrisc are broken as well.
The reason is that they borrow libgcc.a from the toolchains.
For example, see this line in arch/parisc/Makefile:
LIBGCC := $(shell $(CC) -print-libgcc-file-name)
Some objects in libgcc.a are linked to vmlinux.o, but they do not have
.*.cmd files.
Obviously, there is no EXPORT_SYMBOL in external objects. Ignore them.
(Most of the architectures import library code into the kernel tree.
Perhaps those 4 architectures can do similar, but I am not sure.)
Fixes: f292d875d0dc ("modpost: extract symbol versions from *.cmd files")
