v5.4 needs:
84d5f77fc2ee ("x86, vmlinux.lds: Add RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to generic DISCARDS")
which didn't hit Linus's tree until: v5.7-rc1~164^2~1
This explains why v5.4 blew-up and v5.10 didn't.
I'm testing the following for v5.4
84d5f77fc2ee ("x86, vmlinux.lds: Add RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to generic DISCARDS")
This needed a little massaging to apply.
99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv")
4b9880dbf3bd ("powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT")
07b050f9290e ("powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Don't discard .rela* for relocatable builds")
a494398bde27 ("s390: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to fix link error with GNU ld < 2.36")
+ the arch/sh patch https://lore.kernel.org/all/9166a8abdc0f979e50377e61780a4bba1dfa2f52.1674518464.git.tom.saeger@xxxxxxxxxx/
I'd be grateful if you could confirm - so I can send this full series to
Greg.
If you'd rather - I can send the patch-series now for testing?
