With the newer binutils (tested with 2.35.90.20210113-1ubuntu1) the GNU assembler doesn't generate a symbol table for empty object files and objtool fails with the following error when a valid symbol table cannot be found: arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.o: warning: objtool: missing symbol table To prevent this from happening, build thunk_$(BITS).o only if CONFIG_PREEMPTION is enabled.
