This is https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1830 and
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/981, which is a bug in
recordmcount with regards to section symbols that occurs when building
with clang's integrated assembler. It happens when the there are only
weak symbols in a .text section, which occurs more often with MIPS due
to LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION implying -ffunction-sections (i.e., any
__weak symbol will trigger this) and I can see this randconfig setting
it.

Unfortunately, the robot seems to have tripped over this a lot over the
weekend :/ Intel folks, can this type of warning please be added to your
filter for at least MIPS + LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION so that people
don't get bothered?
