This catches the failing ceph CRC on with:
LD vmlinux.o
MODPOST vmlinux.o
WARNING: EXPORT symbol "ceph_monc_do_statfs" [vmlinux] version
generation failed, symbol will not be versioned.
When the modules referring to exported symbols are built, there is an
existing warning for missing CRC, but it's not always the case such
any such module will be built, and in any case it is useful to get a
warning at the source.
This gets a little verbose with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH,
producing a warning with each object linked, but I didn't think
that warranted extra complexity to avoid.
